AERA Ensemble

AERA Ensemble is an artist-led chamber ensemble built around artistic ideas rather than fixed instrumentation. Founded in 2025, the ensemble's core brings together clarinet, violin/viola and piano, while embracing collaborations and varied instrumental combinations to create imaginative programmes driven by storytelling, curiosity and connection.

Since its formation, AERA has rapidly established itself as an exciting new voice in the UK chamber music scene. In 2026, the ensemble won First Prize in the Royal Over-Seas League Mixed Ensemble Competition before performing at Wigmore Hall as part of the Royal Over-Seas League Gold Medal Final. The ensemble also received the Gold Medal and Special Award at the 10th Manhattan International Music Competition and is a member of the Philip and Dorothy Green Young Artist Scheme.

Tickets are £15/Adults, £2/U18s and students (under 16s to be accompanied by an adult).
