Hebrides Ensemble's photostream

Edinburgh-based Hebrides Ensemble is Scotland's foremost contemporary music group, specialising in new, twentieth and twenty-first century chamber music, music theatre and chamber opera.

Led by the cellist and conductor William Conway and drawing upon the finest musicians within Scotland and Europe, Hebrides Ensemble is a flexible and intimate group, dedicated to presenting chamber music in new and interesting ways.

The ensemble tours frequently to venues as far-flung as St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney to the Wigmore Hall in London, performs at international festivals and broadcasts and records regularly. Acclaimed for its imaginative and innovative programming and outstanding quality of performance, the group is a member of Re:New, a network of European contemporary music ensembles, which has at its heart the promotion and exchange of contemporary compositions throughout the Continent.

The Ensemble last year were shortlisted in the Chamber Music category of the 2009 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards and look forward to a busy Summer festival series and 10/11 Season.
