Founded in 1962, Les Percussions de Strasbourg is a world-renowned ambassador of musical creation. With an exceptional repertoire, the group alternates between key pieces from the twentieth century and commissions for new works, with the same concerns in mind: to bring contemporary heritage to life by constantly revisiting it, and to continue to innovate, ahead of the expansion of practices and stage expressions.

Since its foundation, the group has always been at the heart of creation, thanks to its close ties with today's composers and the diversity of its proposals in terms of formats and tools: from duos to octets, from acoustics to electronics, from recitals to musical theatre and dance...

With nearly 400 works to its name, the group continues to maintain and develop its collection of instruments, which is unique in the world. It has numerous recordings to its credit, as well as around thirty international awards, including a Victoire de la musique classique in 2017 for the Percussions de Strasbourg label's 1st recording, Burning Bright by Hugues Dufourt.

Their day-to-day commitment to teaching and learning is reflected in a wide range of educational activities, particularly for the public in the Hautepierre district, where the ensemble is in residence.
