Inspired by the classical musicians who travelled throughout Europe to train and expand their practice, the ULYSSES Platform forms a new ensemble of young musicians living in Europe each year who travel through several academies and festivals affiliated with the ULYSSES network.

The ULYSSES Ensemble 2025, is made up of 9 musicians:

Ksenija Franeta (RS) – flute

Claire Colombo (IT) – oboe

Oleksandr Zhehalov (UA) – clarinet

Paula Soriano Ibanez (SP) – saxophone

Grzegorz Chwalinksi (PO) – percussion

Carter Muller (NL) – piano

Svetlana Riger (RU) – violin

Lucie Biek (AT) – viola

Angèle Decreux (FR) – cello

In June 2025, the ULYSSES Ensemble is performing in Milan, hosted by Divertimento Ensemble, and in Paris, hosted by IRCAM.
