Scottish Ensemble - Steve Martland Commission
The Scottish Ensemble is a dynamic group of twelve string players, formed from some of the most highly respected musicians in Europe. The group performs without a conductor, led from the violin by its Artistic Director, Jonathan Morton. The Scottish Ensemble regularly commissions new work, plays rare and unusual pieces, and brings characteristic style and spirit to more well-known music.
Their 07/08 Season includes the world premiere and a further 5 performances of a new commission for the Scottish Ensemble by Steve Martland, which will be performed in concerts which also include works by Stravinsky and Francaix, and end with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto with RPS award winner Michael Collins as soloist. Audiences all around Scotland particularly value the Scottish Ensemble’s programming, which always aims to contrast familiar works with new or unusual repertoire.
The Scottish Ensemble is passionately committed to the communities in which it performs, and creates learning and participation opportunities for people of all ages and abilities throughout Scotland and beyond.
