Ecce is an ensemble of performing and creative artists. We take on intensive collaborations and pedagogical projects that touch on important cultural and social aspects of our time. Our core aim is to work in a collaborative, creative, socially engaged and interdisciplinary way. We routinely reach out to artists from around the world to assist in our collaborative projects and our ensemble is diverse in its talents and creative visions.

Recent collaborators have been with prominent international figures such as Kaija Saariaho, Toshio Hosokawa, Philippe Hurel, Erin Gee, Mark Andre, Garth Knox, Keiko Murakami, and a range of other performers, theater artists and movement artists. In the past ten years, over a hundred emerging composers and sound artists from around the globe have been mentored at our annual summer festival in Auvillar, France.
