The Theseus Ensemble

...exploring music's labyrinths...

The Theseus Ensemble is dedicated to the exploration of the labyrinths of modern music, and to sharing our discoveries with our audiences.  Our work focuses on repertoire of the late 20th and 21st centuries, and through concerts and education projects we are committed to drawing connections between music and other areas of the arts, science and nature.

The ensemble comprises some of the UK’s leading young professional instrumentalists, many of whom work regularly with the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
