London-based wind quintet Ensemble Renard have quickly emerged as one of the UK's most exciting young chamber ensembles. 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, members of the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme, and most recently have been awarded the 2024 RPS Henderson Chamber Music Prize.
With a focus on curating compelling and contrasting programmes, each performance the ensemble give demonstrates the kaleidoscopic versatility of the wind quintet. We are delighted to welcome Ensemble Renard to The New Space for what will be a spectacular final concert in the Wanderlust series, a journey delving into the themes of nature, travel, folk traditions, song, and myth.
