About Kreisler Ensemble

Kreisler Ensemble was formed in 2003 by seven musicians with one common purpose: to create a new platform for contemporary music and challenge existing perceptions about the way new music is currently performed.

Since its conception, Kreisler Ensemble have performed widely across the UK, from the St Magnus Festival in Orkney to the Purcell Room, London (FRESH 2005), Bush Hall, the Jaqueline-du-Pres Music building and the Warehouse. They have recently recorded their first commission "The Glory Tree" for Toccata Records.

Mission: Kreisler Ensemble experiments with music´s theatrical side. By exploring music´s relation to other art forms we build a new audiences for contemporary music.

Commissions form an integral part of the ensemble's work. Kreisler Ensemble seeks to commission works by talented young composers, and perform them not just once, but make them an integral part of our musical consciousness by continuing to perform them regularly. The group is committed both to furthering the development of younger, lesser-known composers and keeping the music of established modern composers alive.
