Since its foundation in 2018 by flautist Adam Walker, the Orsino Ensemble has explored the often untapped wealth of chamber music for wind ensemble. The group returns to Wigmore Hall with a programme built around the Wind Quintet written in 1929 by Pavel Haas, a four-movement work spiced with its young Czech composer’s tangy melodies.

The Orsino Ensemble is a flexible format chamber ensemble with a central focus on the five outstanding wind players at its core.
Each a leader in their field, the group’s members are committed to showcasing the depth and versatility of the wind chamber repertoire; expanding and reducing the ensemble’s format as needed across their different programmes.
The ensemble was founded in 2018 by Adam Walker with inaugural performances at the Aldeburgh Festival. Recent highlights have included performances at Wigmore Hall and Sibelius Hall, and appearances at West Cork Chamber Music, Chipping Campden, Two Moors and Ryedale Festivals, as well as a weekend residency at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
The ensemble has collaborated with artists including Pavel Kolesnikov, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and Katya Apekisheva. The Orsino Ensemble’s first recording, featuring French repertoire for Winds and Piano, was released for Chandos in 2021 to critical acclaim across the board, with The Guardian praising the recording as ‘a disc that beguiles and dazzles in every bar’. This was followed in 2023 by ‘Echoes of Bohemia’; a disc exploring the strong tradition of Czech wind playing through works by Reicha, Janácek, Pavel Haas and Martin?.
