Founded in 2003 by composer Dan Dediu, the new music group Profil Ensemble soon became one of the most valued and professional promotors of avant-garde music in Romania. Presence in international festivals, compact disc recordings and tours abroad (Germany, Switzerland) enhanced the cohesion of the ensemble in both national and international musical life under the inspired and confident guidance of conductor Tiberiu Soare. Designed as a modular and flexible instrumental formula (from 3 to 17 musicians), Profil Ensemble is a new music workshop, assiduously promoting enshrined values of both Romanian and world music as well as new creations of young composers.
