Ensemble Européen Legato

Created on the initiative and under the artistic direction of the French composer and flutist François Daudin Clavaud, the Ensemble Européen L'Ensemble Européen Legato is a chamber music ensemble of variable geometry composed of musicians from different countries of the European Union. The Ensemble Européen Legato wishes to present atypical musical programs, where classical and contemporary music coexist and which can open the field to other artistic disciplines (literature, graphic arts, art video, dance...). Creation is at the heart of its activity and the ensemble may commission works from composers.
The aim of this new ensemble, by integrating musicians from different European countries, is to allow them to share their specific musical cultures, and to create a network of exchanges, notably in terms of diffusion.
Each year, the musicians come together for a gathering into host structures participating in this European cultural project. They work on projects that are proposed to different festivals or concert halls during the current season.
François Daudin Clavaud is also a member and artistic director of many projects of the Trio d'Argent - Le Souffle Nomade
