ABOUT LME
Since its conception as a professional chamber group in 2004, the London Myriad Ensemble has given concerts internationally, with a repertoire by composers ranging from Mozart to Chick Corea. The ensemble performs principally as a wind quintet whose members share a passion for chamber music alongside a wealth of experience within the music profession. The individual members have worked with major ensembles and eminent musicians in the UK, and internationally.
The London Myriad Ensemble has performed at venues such as St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. James's Piccadilly, and at the residence of the British High Commissioner to the Seychelles. The ensemble was Quintet in Residence, on a full scholarship at the Dartington International Summer School in 2005, and at the Seychelles International Festival of Classical Music 2006. It was then invited to the Beauville Arts Wind Chamber week in South-West France supported by an "Awards for Ensembles" grant from the Musicians Benevolent Fund and a generous donation from the Tillett Trust.
The ensemble has a particular interest in new music and in expanding the repertoire for woodwind quintet, having recently given several world premiere performances. These premieres have included Ultramarine by Peter Nickol, which was written for the ensemble. Future plans include premieres of works by Carl Schimmel, Karl Nicklas Gustavsson and Ross Clarke, among others.
