Balkans: Hyperion Ensemble

Bucharest, Romania

Founded by Iancu Dumitrescu in 1976, the Hyperion Ensemble has blazed a different trail from other spectral schools, and now serves as a key reference point in the contemporary music field. In performance, the ensemble’s sounds are transformed into a materiality which immerses the listener.
