FANTASTIC NEWS! The Dutch Publishing house, DONEMUS, is releasing a great amount of Olivier Greif's works, typeset and revised by the cellist of the Olivier Greif Ensemble, Anne-Elise Thouvenin. We are very happy to finally see the embodiment of three years of hard work!
NEW SEASON starts! Our programming changed one's image! Exciting surprises to be discovered in our Brochure...
Our last August concert in Meppel Kunsthuis Secretarie got a great article by Wim Stoppelenburg in Meppeler Courant: to be checked HERE!
Latest Andrew Levine's article for PraxisBericht came out! He explains the genesis of the Danse des Araucan's project, our work process and his audio recording setting. A beautiful report to be checked HERE!
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!!
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...
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...
