Ensemble intercontemporain
Pierre Boulez Cycle
Formed by Pierre Boulez in 1976, the Ensemble intercontemporain was created to dedicate itself to music written in the 20th century, later broadening its focus to modern-day music. In 2025, the centenary of its founder’s birth, the collective will be performing a tribute tour to Boulez, playing some of his most important works. Among them is the First Piano Sonata, imagined as two contrasting overlapping movements, a perfect example of a method of composition that Boulez called “organised delirium”.
