Short profile:
Bristol Ensemble (formerly Emerald Ensemble) is Bristol's professional chamber orchestra, and is renowned for its accessible, passionate, warm and virtuosic performances. The group holds a pivotal position in South West music, presenting eighty events per year in the region's major venues. Formed in 1994 by Roger Huckle, Bristol Ensemble is a musicians' collective, bringing together the best of the region's performers.
Detailed description:
The group regularly work with outstanding international artists and soloists, including Willard White, Emma Kirkby, James Bowman, Andy Shephard(Jazz Saxophone), Wayne Marshall(Piano), Leslie Garrett, Emma Johnson(Clarinet), Victor Hugo-Villena (Bandoneon), as well as exceptional young artists such as Natalia Lomeiko (Violin), Jiafeng Chen (Violin) and Adam Walker (Flute). We are particularly known for our collaborations with other art forms and our film and media work as well as our highly acclaimed contemporary music series Elektrostatic at the Colston Hall where we work with such artists as Gabriel Prokofiev, Juice, Get the Blessing, Charles Johnston and welcome USA group Eighth Blackbird to our series in 2011. BE Inspired! provides exciting and educational opportunities to experience live music making and explores the creative potential of all project participants. Creatively led by animateur Julie Payne, musicians from the Bristol Ensemble can regularly be found out and about in the community, working with all ages and abilities - in schools (primary, secondary and special), with the elderly and in prisons, as well as with amateur enthusiasts and talented teenagers.
