Inicia! is a collective of three composers (Alireza Farhang, Antonin Servière, and Patrick Marcland) founded in 2020, with the aim of promoting contemporary musical creation in the Nice region. Engaging renowned musicians, the ensemble presents concerts in which particular attention is paid to scenography, staging, and choreography, with a focus on trans-disciplinarity and dialogue between art forms. In 2021, they produced and performed the music for Laurence Marthouret’s triptych of choreographic works, Rituals. The Inicia! ensemble has collaborated with the CIRM (National Center for Musical Creation in Nice, now extincted) and L’Entrepont at the 109 Contemporary Culture Center, located in Nice.
