As former BBC New Generation Artists the Galliard Ensemble has become one of Britain’s leading chamber groups, with repertoire ranging from Mozart and Beethoven to Berio and Schoenberg. Soon to celebrate their 20th anniversary, they have performed in many of the world’s leading venues and festivals. They have worked with some of the greatest contemporary composers, including Gyorgy Ligeti and Sir Harrison Birtwistle. They are frequently broadcast on BBC Radio 3 as well as internationally. The ensemble’s CDs have been selected by the Sunday Times, BBC Music Magazine, Gramophone, and BBC Radio 3 in their critics’ choices of outstanding releases.
