The Schubert Ensemble has established itself over 27 years as one of the world's leading exponents of music forpiano and strings. Regularly giving over 50 concerts a year, the Ensemble has performed in over 40 different
countries. In 1998 the Ensemble's contribution to British musical life was recognized by the Royal Philharmonic
Society when it presented the group with the Best Chamber Ensemble Award, for which it was shortlisted again in
2010. Lately, the Ensemble has enjoyed a busy international schedule, with performances in the Czech Republic,
Norway, Gibraltar, Spain, Holland, Canada, the USA and, most recently, a first visit to China, as well as
appearances across the UK. In this period the Ensemble has also released two new recordings for the Chandos
label of works by Martinu and Faure, both of which have been widely praised.
2011 sees the continuation of the Ensemble's Enescu/ Dvo?k series at London's Wigmore Hall, and the release of
Enescu's two piano quartets on the Chandos label. Alongside its busy concert schedule, the Ensemble has
established a reputation for innovation in the field of new music, education and audience development. This year,
the Ensemble continue its Residency at the Birmingham Conservatoire, as well as giving workshops andmasterclasses around the country. The Ensemble has built up strong relationships with many of the UK's leading
composers, and has an impressive list of over 80 commissions.
