Information

Ensemble Reconsil was founded in 2002 by the 3 artistic directors, first in a cast of 6 musicians. The ensemble has been expanding the last 5 years, but still keeps to the original idea of performing without percussion. “ensemble reconsil” has become an important part of Viennas contemporary music scene. Musicians are mainly free-lancers or leading musicians from Wiener Symphoniker or RSO Wien.
