Ensemble Contraste Requiem, Cantique de Jean Racine, Pavane A concert dedicated entirely to Gabriel Fauré, to mark the 100th anniversary of his death.
Who are they?
What happens when art music meets popular music? The result is a delicious contrast in the name of this ensemble, created in 2000 and made up of virtuoso classical artists who have graduated from major institutions and prestigious international competitions. Decomposing classical music, mixing genres and surprising audiences with original concerts: this is the very nature of this musical group. The cult of friendship, the diversity and spontaneity of the ensemble's musicians, and the quest for their own musical arrangements all combine to produce a programme that's original, demanding and accessible to all, ranging from baroque and classical music to tango, musical comedy, jazz and contemporary creation.
