ECM+ présente Ensemble Paramirabo: Attaque à cinq! (excerpts) from Ensemble contemporain de Montréal. About the artists Ensemble Paramirabo is a group of five versatile and innovative musicians who strive to bring new life to the performance of art music by presenting creative programming that embraces collaborations with other artists and stretches the boundaries of the traditional concert experience. According to Bachtrack, Ensemble Paramirabo demonstrates "total fearlessness" and is "a rare gem in the city–born solely of creative inspiration, and their evolution is an up-and-coming musical force not to be missed." The ensemble's mandate is to act as an advocate for emerging composers by reserving the lion's share of their programming to new works.
