Created in 2018 by violist Pierre-Henri Xuereb, one of the last students of Scottish violist William Primrose (1904-1982) considered in the history of the viola as one of the pioneers of this instrument. The specificity of this ensemble is, by bringing together several instrumentalists (between 3 and 10 in general) that the viola is always more represented than the other instruments (violin, cello and double bass… depending on the programme). Before Joseph Haydn, chamber music ensembles very often had two violas playing different parts. J-B Lully, for example, used three viola desks of different sizes (Les Violons du Roy). Pierre-Henri Xuereb plays, within the ensemble, often the second violin parts on the viola. The concert programmes range from baroque music to contemporary creation, while also focusing on traditional music (Egypt, China, Flamenco, South American, etc.).
