Ensemble Alternance is celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Klaus Huber, with whom it was a faithful creative partner.

A key actor in the music of the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, committed composer, humanist, teacher, Klaus Huber's aim is to shake people's consciences through music, the depth of which remains an enigma but which, for us Westerners, could mean liberation from the hubris of the individual and super-individualism.

Aurélien Dumont, for whom Klaus Huber has shaped part of his musical grammar, and Brice Pauset, who said of Klaus Hubereverything speaks to him in terms of thought and musical approach, bring their heritage to fruition in two new works with typically Huberian instrumentation.
