Ensemble Explorations was founded by Roel Dieltiens in 1996.
During selected times each year, great musicians from all over the world gather around cellist Roel Dieltiens to perform chamber music. The musicians not only explore and tackle a large and diverse repertoire, transforming well-known pieces successfully, but also aim to place forgotten or rarely played pieces back on the big stages. In addition to playing many national and international concerts, Ensemble Explorations also made several recordings with Harmonia Mundi. The many prizes and distinctions reflect the international appreciation for Roel Dieltiens’ unique approach to chamber music repertoire. In 2011, after 15 intense years with Ensemble Explorations, Dieltiens decided to focus on his career as a soloist. Ensemble Explorations celebrated its comeback in 2022.
