Ensemble

 

Ensemble 10/10 is a classical music group based in Liverpool, England. The group was founded in 2002 by Clark Rundell, a renowned conductor and composer. The ensemble is made up of ten musicians who specialize in contemporary classical music, and they have gained a reputation for their innovative and exciting performances. The birth of Ensemble 10/10 can be traced back to Rundell's desire to create a group that would focus on contemporary classical music. Rundell had previously worked with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and he saw an opportunity to create a smaller ensemble that would allow him to explore more experimental and avant-garde music. Rundell assembled a group of ten musicians who shared his passion for contemporary classical music. The ensemble included a mix of string players, wind players, and percussionists, and they quickly established a reputation for their virtuosic performances and adventurous programming. One of the highlights of Ensemble 10/10's early career was their performance at the 2004 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. The festival is one of the most prestigious events in the contemporary classical music world, and Ensemble 10/10's performance was widely praised for its energy and creativity. Over the years, Ensemble 10/10 has continued to push the boundaries of contemporary classical music. They have collaborated with a wide range of composers, including Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass. They have also commissioned new works from emerging composers, helping to support the next generation of classical music talent. In addition to their work in the concert hall, Ensemble 10/10 has also been active in the recording studio. They have released several albums, including a critically acclaimed recording of Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians." Ensemble 10/10 has received numerous awards and accolades for their work. In 2008, they were awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society's Ensemble Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to classical music. They have also been nominated for several BBC Music Magazine Awards, and their recordings have been praised by critics around the world. One of the most memorable performances in Ensemble 10/10's history took place in 2012, when they performed at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. The ensemble was chosen to represent the cultural diversity of the United Kingdom, and their performance was seen by millions of people around the world. Ensemble 10/10 continues to be a leading force in the world of contemporary classical music. They have inspired countless musicians and composers, and their innovative approach to music-making has helped to redefine what is possible in the classical music world.
