L’Ensemble 2e2m est l’un des plus anciens et des plus prestigieux ensembles français consacrés à la création musicale d’aujourd’hui. Le sigle qui le désigne et qui signifie « études et expressions des modes musicaux » est devenu un acronyme – mieux, une devise garante de pluralisme et d’ouverture. Manière de dire que l’Ensemble n’a rien ignoré de ce qui s’est pratiqué depuis plus de quatre décennies.

Avec plus de six cents partitions créées à son actif, 2e2m révèle aux publics nombre de compositeurs considérés comme essentiels et constitue un répertoire d’œuvres qui deviennent des jalons.

Labellisé CERNI (Compagnies et Ensembles à Rayonnement National et International) par le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, 2e2m est un interprète incontournable des scènes nationales et internationales. Parcourant l’éventail de tous les styles – classique, moderne et actuel – l’ensemble est un acteur majeur des nouvelles mixités artistiques.

2e2m is one of the first and most prestigious French ensembles dedicated to today's musical creation. With several hundred premieres to its credits, the Ensemble is a major performer on the national and international music scenes.

Since its creation in 1972 by French composer Paul Méfano, 2e2m has innovated over and over and holds a leading role in the field of contemporary musical creation.

Based in the Paris region since its creation, the Ensemble develops an active work on the local territory, focused on the creation and the promotion of music. Concerts, educational projects, public rehearsals, meetings with composers and performers are as many ways for audiences to discover works, to experiment and to build a close connection with the creators.

Fifty years after its creation, 2e2m is still dedicated to its vocation: to explore - by being open to a wide range of aesthetics – and to share with the audiences – thanks mainly to a deep and lasting artistic and human relationship with composers, artists and performers.
