Ars Nova ensemble instrumental

Ars Nova is made up of 25 musicians devoted to the repertoire of 20th century and performance of the new works, especially those reflecting contemporary trends. It is open to all  the musical and artistic styles of its time and is seen as a focus for encounters and exchange. Its projects are developed through a process of ongoing work with composers, an approach that has led to a special relationship with  Pascal Dusapin, Bernard Cavanna, Andy Elmer, Georges Aperghis, Claude Barthélémy, Luc Ferrari, Jean-Pierre Drouet and, recently, Sylvain Kassap, Alexandros Markéas et Zad Moultaka.
In addition to concerts offering a balance between experiment and new works, Ars Nova undertakes projects combining music, theatre, dance and the performing arts.
