The Pelléas Ensemble was formed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2011. Playing with “verve and polish” (The Times), they recently won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award, and the 2017 Elias Fawcett Award for Outstanding Chamber Ensemble at the Royal Overseas League competition. In 2016 they won both the Grand Prize and the Audience Prize in the St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition, and won a place on the prestigious Tillett Trust Young Artists’ Programme. Their Wigmore Hall debut was praised for its “captivating vitality” and “effortlessness and delicacy", and they have appeared live on BBC Radio 3's ‘In Tune’. The ensemble has given numerous recitals at other London venues including St John’s Smith Square and has premiered three new works this year. They have been praised for creating an immediate and intimate connection with their audiences.
