The ensemble was founded in 2004 on the initiative of David Grimal.

The orchestra interprets works from the symphonic repertoire and dispenses with a conductor. It has a great deal of freedom of interpretation from case to case.

The repertoire includes classical works ( Mozart , Beethoven , Schubert , Brahms , Vivaldi ) and extends to modern and contemporary compositions ( Schönberg , Dutilleux , Ligeti ...).

In the quartet Les Dissonances, David Grimal (violin), Hans Peter Hofmann (violin), David Gaillard (viola), Xavier Phillips (violoncello) play.

Les Dissonances also work on educational projects such as educational concerts, public rehearsals and the so-called P'titssonances workshops in schools. The aim is to sensitize and inspire young people for classical music.

L'Autre season

Once a month, Les Dissonances invites artists from all areas (musicians, singers, dancers, storytellers, comedians, ...) to play free of charge to support people in difficult life situations. All proceeds from the concert go to the Les '' Margéniaux '' association, which accompanies and finances emergency aid work and medium-term projects selected by socio-political actors.
