Ensemble Oriol is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2012 by a group of young musicians who shared a passion for chamber music. The ensemble is based in Barcelona, Spain, and is named after the Catalan composer Oriol Martorell. The founding members of Ensemble Oriol were violinist Anna Margrethe Nilsen, cellist Arnau Tomàs, and pianist Albert Guinovart. They were later joined by violist David Quiggle and clarinetist Joan Enric Lluna. The ensemble has since expanded to include other musicians for larger works. Ensemble Oriol has quickly gained recognition for their dynamic and engaging performances. They have performed in major concert halls and festivals throughout Europe, including the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, the Konzerthaus Berlin, and the Festival Internacional de Música de Cadaqués. One of the highlights of Ensemble Oriol's career was their performance at the 2014 Festival Internacional de Música de Cadaqués. They performed a program of works by Brahms, Schumann, and Dvořák, which was met with critical acclaim. The ensemble was praised for their technical precision and emotional depth. Ensemble Oriol has also been recognized for their recordings. Their debut album, "Brahms: The Piano Quartets," was released in 2016 and received widespread praise. The album features the ensemble's interpretation of Brahms' two piano quartets, which are considered to be some of the composer's most challenging works. In addition to their performances and recordings, Ensemble Oriol is committed to promoting classical music to a wider audience. They have collaborated with schools and community organizations to provide educational programs and workshops. They also regularly perform in non-traditional venues, such as museums and public spaces, to reach new audiences. Ensemble Oriol has received numerous awards and accolades for their work. In 2015, they were awarded the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona for their contributions to the city's cultural scene. They have also been recognized by the Fundació Música Ferrer-Salat and the Fundació Banc Sabadell. Overall, Ensemble Oriol is a dynamic and innovative ensemble that is dedicated to bringing classical music to new audiences. With their technical precision and emotional depth, they have quickly become one of the most exciting chamber music ensembles in Europe.
