Welcome to the Wallace Ensemble, a versatile orchestra founded by three former postgraduate conducting students at Trinity College of Music. Its repertoire ranges from Baroque to Modern; from well-known classics to new commissions. It has performed concerts specialising in English Music of the Twentieth Century, and others featuring works by great Germanic composers. It performs as a Chamber Orchestra, a full Symphony Orchestra or in smaller ensembles. Its conductors have appeared with the ensemble as soloists and composers, while its musicians' expertise covers areas as diverse as jazz, early music, ceilidh and klezmer.

Press Coverage

"...the fiery klezmer finale alludes to Hava Nagila and concludes with a fizzing transformation of Had Gadya, all of which virtuoso pianist Charles Owen and the Wallace Ensemble, under the composer's deft baton, projected with zest and panache."
Jewish Renaissance Magazine, January 2004
