CMC: Pelleas Ensemble

The Pelléas Ensemble is comprised of Oliver Wass on harp, Luba Tunnicliffe on viola, and Henry Roberts on flute. They have made a name for themselves through their intimate and honest music-making, as well as their ambitious programming. The ensemble has won awards from the Royal Philharmonic Society, the Royal Overseas League, and the Tillett Trust, and has 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 and are regularly praised for their compelling performance and immediate connection with audiences. The Pelléas Ensemble are persuasive advocates for their unusual combination of instruments and constantly explore ways to expand the group’s repertoire. As well as arranging their own pieces, the ensemble has enjoyed many close collaborations with contemporary composers, being closely involved in the compositional process throughout to ensure an open dialogue between performers and composer. The event is free for Under25s.
