Xenakis Ensemble

Based in Middelburg, it is known as one of the few ensembles specializing in the works of the composer Iannis Xenakis.

The group was founded in 1980, at the initiative of the foundation Nieuwe MUZIEK Zeeland of Middelburg and the pianist Geoffrey Douglas Madge, with the approval of the composer Iannis Xenakis.

[1] Its repertoire includes over 40 compositions by Xenakis, some of which were written for the group (e.g., the 1986 À l'île de Gorée for amplified harpsichord and twelve musicians).

The ensemble also performs recent works by Luca Francesconi, Morton Feldman, Willem Breuker, Jin Hi Kim, Huib Emmer, and Bunita Marcus.
