Ensemble Plurisons

Artistic Commission

The Plurisons Ensemble is an interstate group that brings together some of the best performers dedicated to new repertoire and practices in Brazil. Plurisons emerged as a space for collaboration between composers and performers, an Ensemble where rubbing, blowing, scratching, whistling, singing, mix and each instrument wants to be rediscovered under a new perspective.

The repertoire seeks to find spaces where the listening experience can be renewed and our perception can be changed. Its concerts offer premieres of Brazilian composers or first performances in Brazil of foreign composers, alongside classics from the 20th and 21st centuries. The focus is to provide a new perspective on the act of listening, inviting everyone to revisit this sense and use it as a gateway to rediscover the world around us, a world where every sound can be music.
