Leo Warynski
composer 

Open-minded and versatile, Léo Warynski trained as a conductor with François-Xavier Roth (CNSMD de Paris) and has since conducted a large number of orchestras in France and throughout the world. He is regularly invited by the Orchestre National d'Ile de France, the Orchestre de Normandie, the Ensemble Intercontemporain and the Orchestra of Colombia. His taste for voice and opera has led him to conduct lyrical productions, notably at the Nice Opera(Akhnaten, Orpheus in the Underworld), the Avignon Opera(Carmen, Three Lunar Seas) and the Paris Opera Academy, with whom he performed Benjamin Britten's The Rape of Lucretia in May 2021. Among his engagements this season are concerts with the Strasbourg Orchestra, the Orchestra of Colombia, the Regional Orchestra of Normandy, the CNSM of Paris, as well as opera productions with the Opera of Nice and the Opera of Avignon. Léo Warynski is the artistic director of the vocal ensemble Les Métaboles which he founded in 2010. In 2014, he was appointed musical director of the ensemble Multilatérale, an instrumental ensemble dedicated to creation.
In 2020, he was named Musical Personality of the Year by the Syndicat de la Critique.

Multilateral
musical ensemble

For the past 15 years, the Ensemble has been fully imposing this "multilaterality" which characterizes it, dear to its artistic director Yann Robin: dissemination of the ensemble repertoire, defense of varied aesthetics, collaboration with other artistic fields such as musical theater, dance, digital arts, cinema.... The presence of Léo Warynski as musical director offers yet another dimension by allowing regular collaborations with the vocal ensemble Les Métaboles.
This artistic openness coupled with a team of excellent, curious and committed musicians offers an ideal space of expression and experimentation for creators, giving rise to innovative projects, with partners such as Ircam, Le Fresnoy Centre national des arts contemporains, the GMEM, the Muse en Circuit or the Experimental Studio SWR Freiburg Thus Multilatérale has progressively established itself as a major player in French musical creation, performing in festivals such as Manifeste, Présences, Musica as well as internationally: Controtempo (Rome), the Venice Biennale, Archipel (Geneva), X-Tract (Berlin), Sinkro (Spain)...
Concerned with accompanying the emergence of young composers, Multilatérale has always paid particular attention to the transmission. The Ensemble has collaborated with numerous composition classes, including those of the CNSMDP and the Conservatoire de Gennevilliers, as well as with composition academies (Sermoneta, Barga, Royaumont). In 2022, for the second consecutive season, the Ensemble will also be associated with the Philharmonie de Paris for the Tremplin de la création concert which honors the young generation of European composers. - multilaterale.fr

Les Métaboles
vocal ensemble

Created in 2010 under the impetus of Léo Warynski, the ensemble Les Métaboles brings together professional singers who are committed to the a cappella repertoire.
While a large part of Les Métaboles' activity is devoted to the a cappella repertoire, collaborations with orchestras and instrumental ensembles are part of its musical season. Thus the ensemble is occasionally associated with the orchestra Les Siècles, the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France, the Orchestre de Normandie, the Ensemble Intercontemporain or the Ensemble Multilatérale... Les Métaboles are regularly invited to prestigious festivals and concert halls in France and Europe (Philharmonie de Paris, Musica festival in Strasbourg, Ribeauvillé festival, Musicales de Normandie in Rouen, Festival Voix Nouvelles in Royaumont, Mainz Opera in Germany, Mozarteum in Salzburg). Olfactory concerts, combining music with the work of the perfumer Quentin Bisch, are also part of the productions offered by the ensemble.
Les Métaboles reserve an important place for today's composers through the commissioning of works, the creation and dissemination of the repertoire of living composers. They also invest in the training of professionals through the ARCo composition academy and through training courses for young choral conductors.
In 2021, The Angels (NoMadMusic) is released, the ensemble's fourth album after Jardin féérique (NoMadMusic - 2020), Une nuit américaine (NoMadMusic - 2016) and Mysterious Nativity (Brilliant Classic - 2014). Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, these recordings have established Les Métaboles as one of the best French choirs, as much for its vocal excellence (accuracy, sound color, homogeneity of timbre...) as for the originality of the repertoires chosen.
Les Métaboles receive the support of the DRAC Grand Est as a subsidized ensemble, of the Grand Est region, of the Haut-Rhin department, and of the Caisse des Dépôts, a major sponsor. The Société Générale Foundation C'est vous l'avenir is the main sponsor of the ensemble. Les Métaboles, winner of the 2018 Liliane Bettencourt Prize for choral singing, is supported by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation. - lesmetaboles.fr 

Tana Quartet
instrumental quartet

Since 2010, the TANA Quartet has enjoyed combining their scores in all tenses. Driven by the desire to create, TANA combines aesthetics, decompartmentalizes, confronts and compares them, reinventing the link between past and future, forging its own tradition. The quartet takes on several commissions per season, performs in the most famous concert halls - from the Philharmonie de Paris to the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, from the Villa Medici in Rome to the Konzerthaus in Vienna - and has won numerous prestigious prizes: 1st Laureate HSBC of the Académie du Festival d'Aix-en- Provence, Coup de Coeur de l'Académie Charles Cros, Prix Fuga, les Octaves de la musique. The TANA Quartet works in close collaboration with composers from all over the world, having premiered over 250 works. Its discography includes twelve albums, notably the complete string quartets of Philip Glass (CHOC Classica 2018) and most recently Bleu Ébène, featuring the complete string quartets of composer David Achenberg.
The TANA Quartet has also turned its attention to musical research, becoming the privileged partner of several national creation centers such as Ircam, GMEM, Grame... In 2015, the quartet created its own electroacoustic instruments, the TanaInstruments. With composer Juan Gonzalo Arroyo, TANA signed the first piece for TanaInstruments, Smaqra, a composition that led to others on the VOLTS CD, marking "a milestone in the history of the quartet genre" (classiquenews.com).
A regular guest at institutions such as the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Shanghai Conservatory, in 2018 TANA is creating a summer academy, ARCo (in partnership with the Mozarteum Salzburg, the GMEM, the ensembles Multilatérale and Les Métaboles), focused on musical creation and aimed at the youngest talents. - tanaquartet.fr
