Bristol Ensemble
Bristol Ensemble is a dynamic collective of specialist musicians dedicated to delivering the highest calibre of performance to a wide range of audiences. Founded in 1994 by violinist and conductor Roger Huckle, the ensemble has been at the forefront of musical life in Bristol and the South West for over three decades.
Versatility is one of Bristol Ensemble’s greatest strengths. Its repertoire spans from 17th-century music, performed on original instruments, to cutting-edge contemporary composition and experimental music. The ensemble maintains a vibrant schedule of concerts across Bristol and the West of England, alongside its regular concert series in Henleaze and Nailsworth, and as the resident orchestra with If Opera in Bradford-on-Avon.
“Bristol is fortunate to have such a fine orchestra as this”
Bristol Live
Since its foundation, Bristol Ensemble has collaborated with many of the world’s finest performers, including Nicola Benedetti, Dame Evelyn Glennie, Freddy Kempf, Peter Donohoe, Andrei Gavrilov, Chloë Hanslip, Matthew Barley, Alan Schiller, Willard White, Emma Kirkby, James Bowman, Andy Sheppard, Wayne Marshall, Lesley Garrett, Emma Johnson, Natalia Lomeiko, and Gabriel Prokofiev.
