Joint Faculty Recital: "Liminality" | Ensemble du Bout du Monde

Artist(s)

The Ensemble du Bout du Monde (EBM) is an award winning collective made up of four classically trained saxophonists from Israel, Italy, and the United States, living in Belgium, France, and Italy. As a contemporary ensemble, they are constantly searching to place art in unexpected and truly unique situations. Through the saxophone quartet, their tool to make art through music, they seek to create a paradigm shift in the contemporary concept of what this already versatile ensemble is.

Interested equally in breaking away from the classic view of a quartet, the ensemble members deem it necessary to collaborate in cross-cultural ways between the arts and other humanities. Formed, developed, and trained in France, EBM brings four disparate people and cultures together to envision a creative and innovative collective for which there exists no boundaries or limitations.

Currently, EBM is working through an Advanced Chamber Music Course at Orpheus Institute in Ghent, Belgium with members of the Ictus and Spectra Ensembles. This course bolsters their position in the Belgian music market and continues to train their distinct sound while curating particular programmes for Belgian audiences.

The Ensemble du Bout du Monde is an endorsed artist ensemble with the Henri Selmer Paris Company. They proudly perform on Henri Selmer Paris saxophones and mouthpieces, exclusively.
