Vertixe Sonora is a leading Spanish ensemble of prominent soloists offering an open space for reflection, discussion, and exchange in the field of contemporary music. Since its founding in 2011, the ensemble has commissioned over three hundred new works by emerging as well as established composers and is constantly presenting its projects at the most important concert halls and music festivals around the world, including tours in Asia, North America, South America and Europe. The ensemble has been awarded with several prizes, has published three albums, and their work has been the topic of three documentary films.
From the region of Galicia, Vertixe Sonora emerged as a music platform for creation, recreation and promoting of new projects and concepts in high quality events. Their diversified programs are a dynamic part of the European musical ecosystem and has become an integral part of the Spanish cultural life. The continued premieres of new works allow their audience to experience of the international sound creation scene and has made of Vertixe Sonora an irreplaceable partner for the latest young generation of (inter)national composers. Their proposals are developed within the annual Festival Vertixe, as well as within several concert series produced by the ensemble each season, and participating in many other events as guest artists.
Out of an appreciation for inclusive and diverse approaches to sound, the ensemble provides a constant dialogue and interaction with philosophy, science, technology and diverse forms of contemporary art through a cosmopolitan, inclusive, and cross-cultural perspective to avant garde music.
Vertixe Sonora founded the the Galician Institute of Sonology (IGS) and since 2021, holds the Spanish Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM).
