Pelleas Ensemble

Flute, harp and viola - Programme TBC

The Pelleas Ensemble have made a name for themselves through their intimate, honest music-making and ambitious programming. Playing with “verve and polish” (The Times), they have won awards from the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Royal Overseas League and the Tillett Trust, and performed extensively across the UK and overseas. They were the winners of both the Grand Prize and the Audience Prize at the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition. They are regularly praised for their compelling performance and immediate connection with audiences.

Their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Nature and the Imagination’, (Linn Records), presents a rich and expressive collection of repertoire spanning three centuries, and demonstrates the versatility of the ensemble. Their next album will be released in 2025 (Tactus Records) after being recorded in Italy. Last year, they were Ensemble in Residence as part of the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, during which time they worked and performed in Aldeburgh and at Snape Maltings.

They are persuasive advocates for their unusual combination of instruments and are constantly exploring ways to expand the group's repertoire. As well as arranging their own pieces, The Pelleas Ensemble have enjoyed many close collaborations with contemporary composers. These relationships have lead to various new commissions: Misha Mullov-Abbado’s ‘Three Meditation Songs’ was premiered at London’s Wigmore Hall, and the ensemble joined with the Park Lane Group to commission Benjamin Graves’ ‘Scherzo’, which features on their album.
