Supported Artists
Endelienta Ensemble
Endelienta Ensemble a professional orchestra formed of members from across the country.
Versatile and musically direct, the ensemble showcases the very best of the chamber orchestra repertoire, uncovering some rarely heard gems in the process. Endelienta Ensemble’s members are all young musicians, currently studying or recently graduated from the London conservatoires. Led by Artistic Director Rees Webster they are an annual fixture in the Endelienta Arts residential and performance calendar.
Endelienta Baroque
Originally founded in 2017, but re-formed post-pandemic, Endelienta Baroque comprises some of the country's most talented young performers on historical instruments.
Their aim is simple - to revel in the joy of performing music from many baroque repertories, and to invite audiences to participate in that joy.
Endelienta Baroque’s most recent trip to Cornwall was in November 2023, where we worked with them to deliver a range of schools workshops and performances.
Breselor Ensemble
The Breselor Ensemble is made up of musicians from across Cornwall and dedicated to performing new choral work in Kernewek.
Many of the members met on our Cornish Language Residency and we have since supported the ensemble with an extra residency on the St Endellion campus.
