The Ensemble HOPE is dedicated to the performance and creation of music of today. As well as exploring new forms of contemporary electro-acoustic technology, it integrates written musical tradition, improvisation and an adapted classical repertoire.
The "cristal Baschet" and the "Euphone" form the basis of the ensemble's sophisticated instrumental collection. The new works reflect these neglected and little-known instruments. The Ensemble HOPE is also actively engaged in developing a new generation of Euphones.
The main drive of the ensemble is based on the production of concerts and an ever-growing development of their presentation through masterclasses and workshops.
The ensemble has given world premieres in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, China, Brazil and Colombia.
