ABOUT THE ADDERBURY ENSEMBLE

The Adderbury Ensemble was formed in 1986 by a number of Britain's finest young musicians and has grown from concerts organised in the beautiful village of Adderbury in North Oxfordshire.

The Ensemble has helped to establish the now famous Oxford Coffee Concerts and the Music in Adderbury series. The group has given numerous performances throughout Great Britain and Europe, establishing itself as one of the finest chamber groups in the country. It also has a regular summer series of its own in the Sheldonian Theatre and Holywell Music Room in Oxford.

The newspapers have said "living in Adderbury must be like living in Salzburg or Bayreuth" and described the ensemble's performances as "exceptional", "sumptuous", "thunderous" and "refinement matched with gusto and panache". The ensemble is a flexible group, giving performances mainly of chamber music as well as augmenting to play symphonies and concertos of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn and even Brahms without a conductor.

The Ensemble has an increasingly busy schedule of concerts and recordings for CD and film. Their first recording, released in March 1997, was of romantic string orchestra music. In 200o they made further CDs of music by the British composer Christopher Ball and of Bach concertos for ASV. Their latest recordings (2003) feature chamber music for seven instruments and a further disc of baroque music for chamber orchestra.
