Formed in 1992, the British percussion quartet Ensemble Bash has a reputation as one of the world’s most innovative and groundbreaking chamber ensembles. Since its inception the group has been dedicated to commissioning new repertoire for percussion ensemble, and has worked with composers including Graham Fitkin, Stephen Montague, Nick Hayes, Howard Skempton and Stewart Copeland.
From the 2018/19 season, the group has been Ensemble in Residence at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Ensemble Bash has toured the UK and Europe extensively, including regular appearances at the Southbank Centre and BBC Proms. Further afield, Ensemble Bash has performed in Ghana, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Ensemble Bash’s pioneering education work has included residencies for organisations including Dartington International Summer School, Cheltenham Festival and the Victorian College of the Arts as part of the Melbourne Festival.
