MAY 2017
For the 17th anniversary of Olivier Greif's disappearance (13 May) we celebrated by releasing the video of the world premiere of his Danse des Araucans op.89 for two pianos and percussion; result of another pretty fruitful collaboration with Andrew Levine, our sound engineer!!

APRIL 2017
The Ensemble has started yesterday, (April 29th) the first phase of a long project, close to our heart: the recording of Olivier Greif's works. It all started with this very exciting work: the Danse des Araucans, op.89 and its 40 years anniversary of composition (from 1977). More surprises will come about this piece (and others) soon...

MARCH 2017
We had two fantastic concerts in Nîmes (South of France) the 18th and 19th March with our two French programs, which received a great success. These concerts were preceded by two Masterclasses with enthusiastic young talents of the chamber music classes of Nîmes conservatoire under the guidance of Véronique Pélisséro and Dominic Jayles. We left with a collection of beautiful memories...

FEBRUARY 2017

On February 1st the Ensemble will have the great honor to record for the VPRO tv program, “Vrije Geluiden” in TivoliVredenburg, which will be on air Sunday 26th of this month! On the menu: interview about Olivier Greif's music and life, projects led by the Ensemble and performance of the last movement of Greif's piano Trio. We are looking forward to this new adventure...!

JANUARY 2017
Wednesday 25th was a big event for the Ensemble with the performance of Olivier Greif's Quadruple Concerto “The Dance of the dead” for the Master Final Exam of our dear friend and colleague Luca Altdorfer at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen with the participation of Misi Kaszas and an enthusiastic orchestra formed with students and alumni of the conservatoire! What an evening, what a concert... what an experience!!
