The impressive Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble returns to North America with music for wind and strings by Nielsen, Françaix, Schubert, Beethoven and Glazunov.

Featuring Tomo Keller (violin), Harvey de Souza (violin), Robert Smissen (viola), Stephen Orton (cello), Lynda Houghton (double bass), Stephen Stirling (horn), James Burke (clarinet), and Julie Price (bassoon).

 

“impressive sophistication and complexity of phrasing, elegant articulation and an impeccable sense of balance… What sets the Academy apart from other ensembles is its exceptional musical intelligence.” – Seen and Heard International

“an ensemble of first-rate musicians, technically superb, generously expressive, and obviously enjoying themselves.”  – Dallas Morning News
