Founded in 1983, ENSEMBLE ALEPH is a partnership of soloists, in a flexible formation including composers (Dominique Clément and Jean-Charles François), an ensemble of musicians united by their enthusiasm for living theatre, innovators who want to serve composers while also exploring new ways to relate sound and text, movement and music. Ensemble Aleph resists precise definition and attempts to give it an inadequate and restrictive label. Audiences at performances by Ensemble Aleph - of staged works, or concerts offering an overview of contemporary music - are invited to embark upon an exciting discovery voyage. To encourage a novel approach to well-known works (Cage revisited through Sophie Mathey's choreography, for instance), and to present new talent such as Eric de Clerq: both are natural for Aleph.

With more than 150 world premieres to its credit, Ensemble Aleph is considered to be an "instrument of choice" by composers of diverse aesthetic directions. Ensemble performed on many worldwide festivals (Day of contemporary music Cluny, "XX‘s music" Angers, Radio France Paris, Musica Nova, Brazil, A Tempo, Caracas).
