The Élan Prize, born from the collaboration between ONDIF and IRCAM, was a bold and necessary venture: bringing together emerging music, the orchestra, and electronics. A partnership as rare as it is precious. For this final Élan event, the evening brings together the artists who have left their mark on—and won—previous editions of the prize.
