Biography Waldegrave Ensemble
The Waldegrave Ensemble
is a flexible group with a wind quintet at its core. They perform a wide range of repertoire for wind quintet and collaborate with string and piano players to perform larger mixed chamber works.
Since forming in 2009 the Waldegrave Ensemble have set out to embrace new ways to engage their audiences during their performances; incorporating storytelling or theatre into performances or collaborating with dancers and using visual stimulus to enrich their listeners experiences.
The ensemble believe that the future of classical music is with the youth of today which makes them passionate about their outreach and education projects to help encourage younger generations to learn instruments and enjoy classical music through their waldegrave explore series.
The Ensemble are enthusiastic about working alongside composers to create and perform new chamber works. Recent collaborations include performances of 'Calendar of intolerable inventions from around the world' by Hong Kong born composer Raymond Yiu and the 2016 world premiere of a new quintet by British composer Matthew Taylor.
