As the predecessor of YXUS Ensemble can be considered NYYD Ensemble, which was formed in 1993 from performing at international contemporary music festival NYYD '93. Under the name of YXUS Ensemble the group performed firstly in 2013. YXUS Ensemble has given concerts together with conductor Paul Hillier, vocal ensemble Theatre of Voices and the National Chamber Choir of Ireland. But the main field of activity for YXUS Ensemble is modern musical theatre. From 2013 to 2015 YXUS Ensemble organized a series of theatrical performances called "Stockhausen!". During the series three works by one of the most influential composers-visionaries of the 20th century Karlheinz Stockhausen - Herbstmusik, Tierkreis and Mantra were performed.
