Artist Bio
Formed by four vibrant performers with a passion for chamber music, Iridescence Ensemble takes its audience through an exploration of 20th and 21st century chamber music. Like an iridescent surface that changes colour depending on the angle from which you perceive it, this versatile ensemble presents themselves in many different ways. With bold programme choices involving varied combinations of instruments, this versatile ensemble hopes to spark the curiosity of the audience through immersive concert experiences.
Following their launch concert at the Burgh House in February, the ensemble has also performed at the Elgar Room.
Passionate about the creation of new music, Iridescence Ensemble has collaborated with emerging composers Anibal Vidal and Ilayda Oguz, and is planning a call for scores for later this year.
The Iridescence Ensemble is grateful to the Marchus Trust for their support.
Presented in association with Royal College of Music
