Fado em movimento
Following in the footsteps of the ensemble’s previous cross-cultural projects, it was the encounter with Cristina Branco, an undisputed star of Fado, and the magic of her voice that sparked this collaboration. Bringing together the contemporary aesthetic of our three bows with the traditional repertoire of Fado is the challenge we wanted to take on.

Taking detours, escaping labels, conceiving of music as an exchange.
Founded in 2006 by violinist Agnès Pyka, Des Équilibres distinguishes itself through its open approach to chamber music, building bridges between repertoires, aesthetics, and artistic disciplines. The ensemble explores both classical tradition and contemporary creation, favoring rare works and collaborations with today’s composers. Its flexible structure, ranging from solo to octet, allows it to undertake ambitious and original projects.
Deeply committed to creation, Des Équilibres commissions numerous works, particularly from French and international female composers, and leads several European projects such as Trans Europe Express, dedicated to women’s creative work. The ensemble regularly collaborates with artists from other disciplines (choreography, theatre, jazz, traditional music) and develops multidisciplinary stage projects. It benefits from numerous residencies and cultivates a community-based approach that includes outreach, educational programs, and socially conscious concerts.
Active on the international stage, the ensemble has performed on four continents and initiated numerous artistic collaborations in Portugal, Algeria, Turkey, and Israel. Its discography reflects its penchant for exploration, with several recordings acclaimed by the press (Diapason, Télérama, ICMA, Victoires de la Musique). Supported by the Île-de-France Region, Des Équilibres is now recognized as a leading force in contemporary and innovative chamber music.
