Kaïròs Ensemble , a flexible ensemble at the heart of creation , produces and exports an accessible and aesthetically pleasing repertoire, which it promotes and champions through numerous partnerships . It brings together professional musicians and artists to foster contemporary musical research. The choice of subjects and their realizations offer an innovative approach to various forms (musical theatre, happening concerts, oratorios, performances, operas, etc.).
Numerous creations have confirmed this heuristic vocation, which has been praised by critics.
