Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain is a French classical music ensemble that was founded in 1971 by conductor and composer Daniel Tosi. The ensemble is known for its innovative and contemporary approach to classical music, and has become one of the most respected and influential ensembles in the world. The ensemble was born out of a desire to create a new kind of classical music that was both modern and accessible to a wider audience.

In addition to its performances at the Olympic Games, the ensemble has also performed at some of the world's most prestigious concert halls and festivals, including the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Salzburg Festival. The ensemble has also been the recipient of numerous awards and honors over the years, including the Grand Prix du Disque and the Victoires de la Musique. These awards are a testament to the ensemble's dedication to excellence and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of classical music. Despite its many achievements, the ensemble remains committed to its original mission of creating a new kind of classical music that is both modern and accessible.
