Musiques Nouvelles

Founded in 1962 by Pierre Bartholomée and directed since 1997 by Jean-Paul Dessy, Musiques Nouvelles is an ensemble resolutely focused on creation. Based in Mons, in residence at Arsonic (Mars - Mons arts de la scène), it brings together a dozen virtuoso and committed musicians, in the service of the most audacious contemporary music. Constantly exploring new artistic territories, Musiques Nouvelles develops protean projects mixing music, dance, cinema, theater, poetry, plastic arts or spirituality. Through its collaborations and creations, the ensemble affirms its vocation: to support creation in Wallonia and Brussels, while opening to international stages. Much of the ensemble’s work is available on its YouTube channel, a veritable showcase for its commitment to the music of today, which is lively, inventive and free.
