Concerti – ensemble Tesse

Ensemble Tesse's "Concerti" is an audio-visual album project that includes six concertos, each featuring a solo performance by one of the ensemble's members.

Ensemble Tesse, has created six new works for their latest project. Using the Concertante formula, which originated from classical, baroque, or romantic musical traditions, they have adapted it to suit their ensemble’s unique nature, which is a combination of improvisation and collective creation.

To create each piece, the group began with personal improvisations, which they shared with one another. They then worked collaboratively during their ensembles’ laboratories to refine and adapt the semi-improvised accompaniments. The result is a 45-minute concert-film consisting of six concertos and interludes, including a duet, two trios, a quartet, and two sextets, each lasting between 5 to 8 minutes.

This project allows Ensemble Tesse to showcase the different colors and instrumental combinations they have to offer, resulting in a rich and varied soundscape that offers a unique narrative experience. 

This project is presented in collaboration with Groupe le Vivier and has received the support of the Conseil des Arts et Lettre du Québec within the framework of the Initiatives structurantes en circulation d’œuvres de la relève au Québec as well as the support of the Canada Council for the Arts within the framework of the program Présent numérique for its creation.
