Ensemble Agora is a wind sextet known for piecing together classical music with either art, writing, illustration, or acting to create an “alternative” concert experience. They have partnered with ensembles such as Opéra Comique, Opéra de Lyon, Epau Festival and Fontevraud. Catherine Puertolas (flute), Hélène Mourot (oboe), Sandrine Cavalier (clarinet), Cédric Laggia (bassoon), David Pastor (horn) and Sophie Bellanger (harp) make up this unforgettable group of musicians that came together in 1998.

Elodie Nouhen honed her creative talent at the Ecole Supérieure d’arts graphiques Penninghen in Paris. She has worked for many years as an illustrator having published more than 30 children’s books that have been translated in several languages, including My Music Box.
