Roland Hayrabedian has created Musicatreize in Marseille in 1987, in order to respond to the most diverse instrumental and vocal necessities. Since then, this uncommon tool in the French musical landscape has wended its way through the centuries and the aesthetics, linking up the past and the most immediate present, interlacing the works that became classical and the compositions resolutely contemporary. Musicatreize is adapting to the needs of the score, moving along in the solo voice or the big choir, a cappella or accompanied by instrumental formations, and that way is going from the concert stage to the opera stage, from the chamber music to the musical theatre. Agitator and aesthete, Roland Hayrabedian could not place his ensemble anywhere else than under the sign of the creation. To this day, Musicatreize has performed around fifty commissions, which some of them come within the scope of thematic cycles: « Music, year 13 », « The temptations », « The miniatures », and from 2006: « The 7 tales of Musicatreize ». Musicatreize is often sailing to « the open sea », appearing in the most prestigious audiences and festivals, covering the north and the south of Europe, Africa and Brazil. The ensemble is also concerned about keeping the musical works long-lasting; its discography is greeted by the musical critic and crowned by many distinctions. The wealth of this repertoire needs a professionalism quality and demand which is now spread and well know all over the world. In February 2007, Musicatreize will receive the French classical music Award "Victoire de la Musique" in the category "Ensemble of the Year".
