Synopsis

Album Description
"Each player in the ensemble is a virtuoso, but as a group they seem to have effortlessly acquired those essential chamber music skills of `give and take', which would grace a long-established string quartet." -- Guy WoolfendenA much commissioned & frequently performed composer, a highly creative teacher, and an original programmer, John Woolrich is an important figure in British musical life. His output covers all genres and has been championed by, among others, the Britten Sinfonia (with whom he is currently Associate Composer), the BBC, Nicholas Daniel, Joanna MacGregor, and Steven Isserlis. His successful collaborations with the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group have led to his appointment in the 2002/3 seasons as their Artistic Associate. His 50th birthday was recently celebrated with concerts by the Schubert Ensemble and the Orchestra of St John's. In 2004, Woolrich was Guest Artistic Director of the Aldeburgh Festival (founded by Benjamin Britten), and is Associate Artistic Director of the festival from 2005. The New London Chamber Ensemble, formed in 2001, performs standard chamber repertoire as well as fully staged theatrical works.
