ENSEMBLE RENARD

London based wind quintet Ensemble Renard have quickly emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting young chamber ensembles. With a focus on curating compelling and contrasting programmes comprising works past and present, each performance they give demonstrates the kaleidoscopic versatility of the wind quintet.

After completing a Chamber Music Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music, Ensemble Renard have continued to perform across the country, appearing at the Aldeburgh Festival, the Stoller Hall, Folkestone New Music and Llanfyllin Music Festival.

Each member of Ensemble Renard brings with them a wealth of experience performing with world class ensembles and orchestras, and as soloists in their own right. Together, their skill and musicianship has been recognised via several awards: Ensemble Renard have been Britten Pears Young Artists, Stoller Hall Young Artists, Tunnel Trust awardees, and members of the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme. Most recently, they are delighted to have been awarded the 2024 RPS Henderson Chamber Music Prize.
