New music, collaborations and ambitious chamber projects from The Nash Ensemble.
From championing new chamber music to working alongside the next generation of performers, The Nash Ensemble’s projects extend its work beyond the concert platform.
At the heart of The Nash Ensemble’s identity is an unwavering commitment to expanding the chamber music repertoire. Over six decades, the ensemble has premiered and commissioned hundreds of works, building long-standing relationships with many of the UK’s most distinguished composers.
The Nash Ensemble creates opportunities for young performers to work alongside its musicians through workshops, coaching and collaborative projects. These encounters offer first-hand experience of the detail, communication and shared understanding behind chamber music at the highest level.
The Nash Ensemble’s expansive discography reflects the group’s commitment to adventurous programming and artistic excellence, encompassing acclaimed recordings for major labels including Hyperion, Onyx, NMC, and BIS. Ranging from standard classical repertoire to neglected romantic masterpieces and ground-breaking contemporary scores, the ensemble’s recorded legacy spans well over five decades of music-making. Notable releases feature celebrated surveys of French chamber music, landmark contemporary portrait discs, and award-winning recordings of British chamber works, including their Gramophone Award-winning album of music by John Pickard and critically acclaimed collections of Debussy, Bruch, and Harrison Birtwistle.
Whether capturing live performances at Wigmore Hall or studio-mastered releases, these recordings showcase the Ensemble’s signature blend of technical brilliance, warmth, and imaginative architecture.
The Nash Ensemble's projects depend on the people who believe in ambitious chamber music: supporters, friends, partners and funders who help new ideas become possible.
