Recitals
In 2003 the musicians of the Ardeton String Quartet formed a second
chamber group, The Ardeton Ensemble. This
dynamic and versatile professional chamber ensemble has performed at a
number of UK music festivals
including the 'Pulse' fringe in East Anglia and the Oakham Festival, and
has undertaken recitals in the South West and North West. The group also has a keen passion for
music education, and has previously undertaken GCSE and A-level workshops
in composition and performance.
Although in its core form the group is a string quartet, the group's concerts aim to provide a variety, with players performing solos, duos, trios or more. In 2005 the group performed Britten and Mozart's Oboe Quartets, and in 2006 performed the Brahms Clarinet Quintet with Rob Bell.
In 2007 they toured to Norway, and since then have had a busy schedule performing for Music Societies and concert series across the UK. Visit our sister-group's website here, for more information on players, repertoire and to hear the group live in performance.
We also do session recordings!
The group have performed on BBC, ITV, for Sky Arts, and have recorded videos and albums with singers and bands including Tanya Walker, Edwin Miles and The High-life Companion.
