Just like the Pierre Boulez Saal, the Boulez Ensemble embodies flexibility and programmatic openness. Whether presenting solo pieces or larger works for different combinations of instruments, the ensemble’s concerts are focused on the inspiring juxtaposition of the Classical and Romantic repertoire with compositions from the 20th century and music of our time. Biber, Beethoven, Dvořák, Debussy, Schoenberg, Ligeti, Philippe Manoury, Jörg Widmann, and Unsuk Chin—these are just a few of the composers whose works the Boulez Ensemble performs this current and in the upcoming 2023–24 season. Led by notable guest conductors, all concerts offer an opportunity to look and listen beneath the surface and beyond the familiar.
