Albemarle Ensemble

The Albemarle Ensemble has been in residence at the University of Virginia since 1987. A wind quintet, the group has performed throughout the eastern United States. They received a Virginia Arts Grant for educational programs and several others for recording and touring projects.

The Ensemble appears on the CD "American Camerata Performs" and "Harlequinade, Wind Music by Walter Ross." High Performance Review magazine described their playing on their most recent recording as "splendid...with spirit and understanding" and the Washington Post spoke of the Ensemble's "ease, wit and spontaneity."

The five members of the Ensemble serve as orchestra principals, studio instructors, and coaches of chamber music at the University of Virginia. For more information on a particular member, please click on their name.
