London Concertante enjoys an enviable position in the world of classical music where it is regarded as one of the finest chamber ensembles in Europe - a position it has spent the last 19 years striving to maintain. Begun in 1991, the ensemble quickly garnered praise both here and abroad and now gives around 100 concerts a year all over the world.

“Quality musicians. Quite excellent…pursuing each new pulse with the unanimity of a shoal of fish. [They] play with tone as soft as velvet, bow strokes that really sing and a Romanticist’s wide volume range." Evening Standard

As well as performing regularly for music clubs and festivals in the UK, London Concertante has toured to the USA, Cyprus, Spain, Malta and will be returning to Spain in 2010 and the USA in 2011. The group’s first release on the Chandos label (”Gypsy Strings”) came out to unequivocal critical acclaim and the ensemble released new CDs on both Toccata Classics and Harmonia Mundi ("Piazzolla and Beyond") during 2009.

"played with silky-toned elegance....extraordinary unanimity. The London Concertante members, fine chamber musicians that they are, played with an uncanny clarity of texture...quite exquisite." The Strad

The success of the London Concertante owes much to the exceptional talents of its players, inspired programming by its Artistic Director, Chris Grist, and thrilling leadership under the internationally renowned violinist, Adam Summerhayes.
