Information

Court-circuit was founded in 1991 by the composer Philippe Hurel and the conductor Pierre-André Valade.
The aim was to obtain an instrumental group made up of first-ranking players chosen not only for their virtuosity but also for their interest in the modernity and their experience of the contemporary music.
Court-Circuit also works in collaboration with Bit20 ensemble in Bergen in the frame of the project Fondation3.

Court-circuit receives support from Sacem, DRAC (French Ministry of Culture), CulturesFrance (French foreign office) and Spedidam.
