Concert-meeting: young talents of today’s music
Cycle [lumières sur la création]
Presentation
Ensemble Ulysses
Jean-Philippe Wurtz direction
Ulysses travelled the whole of the Mediterranean; it is Europe that the young musicians of the Ulysses ensemble are crossing. These 8 hand-picked performers – who together cover almost the entire spectrum of a large orchestra, from trumpet to piano or clarinet to cello – are invited to travel by the European Union’s Creative Europe program. Their first stop is in Milan, the last one at the Royaumont Abbey, where they will be conducted by Jean-Philippe Wurtz, conductor and artistic director of the Foundation’s Musical Creation Center. Their concert will be an opportunity to revel in the great diversity of the music of our century, between a piece by Hugues Dufourt that will soon be a classic, a more recent work by New Yorker Alex Mincek, and the unveiling of a brand new score by Turkish Senay Uğurlu.
