This concert brings together two outstanding contemporary music ensembles. Ensemble U:, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, has the honor of hosting and performing with the legendary French Ensemble L’Itinéraire, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

L’Itinéraire is considered one of the most authoritative groups in the field of spectral music. Founded in 1973 by composers Gérard Grisey, Tristan Murail, and Hugues Dufourt, who are associated with spectral music, L’Itinéraire has had hundreds of new works composed for it over the decades. However, Tristan Murail has remained their true resident composer, with his music being deeply understood by the ensemble.

It is worth noting that most of the pieces at the concert will be performed by musicians from both ensembles together, allowing them to share experiences and perhaps create an even more unique soundscape together.
