    Overview

    Conductorless and fearless, 12 Ensemble comprises a dozen of London’s finest string players. The pioneering group’s bold repertoire choices, on display throughout this programme, provide the antidote to the mundane. This evening’s bill includes a new work by British-Canadian composer Isabella Gellis, known for her love of the surreal and playful.
