The Ensemble was formed in 2008 to bring both popular and less widely performed music to churches and communities within Bucks, Beds and Herts. They have performed regularly at National Trust property Claydon House, and recent engagements have included concerts for the Aylesbury Festival, Buckingham University, Hampstead Music Club at Burgh House and a tour of southern France.
Victoria and Albert – A Musical Romance
An accomplished composer, Albert shared the creative process in his letters to the young queen and as their married life progressed it was punctuated by concerts, private performances and audiences with the musical elite of Europe.
The evening includes readings from the letters and diaries of the royals. Some of the compositions are well known, such as Mendelssohn’s Ich wollt’, meine Liebe and Elgar’s Chanson de matin, and some, originally composed by Prince Albert, have remained unpublished and unperformed until now.
‘a perfect blend between the familiar and the freshly exciting’ (Richard Sisson, Luton Music Club)
