Edward Nesbit - In the Desert; with Anna Dennis

A virtuoso new-music group with players drawn from the LSO and LPO, the Ossian Ensemble have worked with many of today's leading UK composers including Thomas Ades, their honorary patron Peter Maxwell Davies (featuring in his BBC4 Documentary), and Jonathan Harvey (invited by him to give his 70th Birthday concert) and have premiered hundreds of works by emerging composers. Recent performances include Pierrot Lunaire at the Linbury Studio, a highlight-feature in the Sounds New Festival, and representing the UK at the International Composers' Pyramid.  They are passionate about educational outreach, taking workshops at Royal Holloway University and, as fellows, at RCM and RAM.
