The Ensemble has commissioned new works from composers such as John Tavener, James MacMillan, Sally Beamish, and Luke Bedford amongst others in recent years, as well as working with guest artists such as trumpeter Alison Balsom, tenor Toby Spence and cellist Pieter Wispelwey.Alongside performances across Scotland, the Ensemble presents an annual series of concerts at London’s Wigmore Hall and has appeared at BBC Proms and the Edinburgh International, City of London, Aldeburgh and St Magnus Festivals. Recent invitations to tour abroad have resulted in engagements in Belgium, Austria, Turkey, China and the USA.
