This modern music ensemble (formed after "New Voices" took place - the first interdisciplinary festival in Israel), is a unique collective of classical, jazz and rock musicians, actors and dancers, lighting, sound artists, photographic and video artists and designers, from Israel, Europe and the U.S.
Ensemble members are leading figures in the contemporary art, music and performance scene. Since 1999 the ensemble produced Reflex1, Reflex2, Reflex3 (Duet for Violin and Spotlight), Reflex4 (Blowing Steam), and Reflex5 (Reflex Quartet and the 10th anniversary international celebration).
