Ensemble Atmosphères is a chamber orchestra created in 2025 in Pantin – Greater Paris, by Venezuelan-American conductor Ilyich Rivas and American double bassist Will Cravy, bringing together young, virtuoso, and versatile musicians who share a desire to explore and master the extraordinary variety of 20th-century and contemporary repertoires, while revealing their full power and uniqueness to the public. Each program is carefully woven across a thematic thread, with the aim of defining tomorrow’s classics by embracing the fascinating repertoire from the postwar to our present day, always set in dialogue with major works from the early 20th century to make each concert a fresh yet accessible musical experience.
