Ensemblebash is a percussion group whose name does scant justice to their subtlety, virtuosity and global outlook, though it does hint at the mad humour and looselimbed jiving that enlivens their shows. Here they join forces with that most adventurous of pianists, Joanna MacGregor

"Classical music concerts dull? I heard a Senegalese circumcision dance, and shared the life of a firefly. I whizzed through the Channel Tunnel. I went to a noisy dinner party and toured the constellation Cygnus. This could only have been a concert by Ensemble Bash who make playing percussion the coolest, noisiest and funniest occupation on earth." The Times

Formed in 1992, the British percussion quartet ensemblebash has forged a reputation as one of the world’s most innovative and groundbreaking chamber ensembles. They have toured the UK and Europe extensively, including regular appearances at the BBC Proms and the Southbank Centre, and in recent years four major tours of Italy, including a performance for the Primo Maggio concert in Rome to an audience of more than 500,000. Further afield ensemblebash has performed throughout Ghana, at the Melbourne and Sydney International Festivals, and in Hong Kong, to mark the handover of the colony to the Chinese.

Joanna MacGregor is thought of as one of the world’s most wide-ranging and innovative musicians and has pursued a life connecting many genres of music defying categorizations. She has performed in over sixty countries often appearing as a solo artist with many of the world's leading orchestras.
