THE INTERENSEMBLE was born in 1984 on the initiative of the pianist and composer Bernard Beggio bringing together most of those musicians who were dedicated to contemporary experience.

Since then, research and experimentation were the lines that led the ensemble work through many of the routes of the classical music of the twentieth and twenty-first century, from Cage, Stockhausen, Berio, Donatoni, Glass and Piazzolla, from computer music to musical theater, the music of minimalist experience derived from the people, to the last generation of composers, with particular emphasis on Italian composers and new technologies.

In more than 25 years the thio has brought his music in almost all European countries (France, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Finland, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Croatia, Ireland, Romania, Spain, Portugal) and also in USA, Mexico and Egypt, recording for RAI, Radio Prague, BRT Belgium, the Polish Radio, RTE Ireland, the Egyptian Radio, Croatian Radio, Television Portuguese Romanian.
