Galliard Ensemble

Former BBC New Generation Artists, the Galliard Ensemble is one of Britain’s leading chamber groups, with repertoire ranging from Mozart to Birtwistle. Now in its 30th year, the ensemble (Kathryn Thomas - flute, Owen Dennis - oboe, Katherine Spencer - clarinet, Richard Bayliss - horn, and Helen Storey - bassoon) has performed in many of the world’s leading venues and festivals, including Wigmore Hall, South Bank Centre, Bridgewater Hall and at the BBC Proms. They have also performed in Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and Slovenia and are frequently broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and around the World.

The Galliard Ensemble is known for its virtuosic, entertaining and distinctive performance style and its recordings have been widely praised; Sunday Times, BBC Music Magazine, Gramophone, and BBC Radio 3 have all selected a Galliard Ensemble CD as outstanding or as Critics’ Choice.

Their programme features pieces by Rossini, Mozart, Couperin, Ravel, Bozza, Holst, Grainger and Patterson.
