The Boulez Ensemble SOUND AND CONTEXT
Just like the Pierre Boulez Saal, the Boulez Ensemble embodies flexibility and programmatic openness. Celebrating the visionary artist for whom it was named, the ensemble is led by notable guest conductors to perform works from the 19th to the 21st centuries, from duo to large ensemble piece, creating fascinating musical exchanges between the past and the present.
