Musician Biographies

The Mayflower Ensemble is committed to the performance of high-quality chamber music from various genres. As well as programming core works for clarinet, cello and piano, they also invite guest musicians to join them in performing larger chamber works. The ensemble strives to introduce audiences to lesser-known works and diverse composers. The Southampton-based group has received support from the John Ireland, GEMMA Classical Music and Francis Routh Trusts.
