Based in Mid Sussex and founded over 6 years ago by close friends, Ensemble Reza aims to take chamber music of the highest quality to local audiences. The group has developed an exciting, diverse programme of concerts and community/education workshops to inspire audiences of all ages, nurturing every musical journey.

Ensemble Reza is at the core a sextet (two violins, two violas and two cellos), however can include any combination of string players from soloist to octet. Ensemble Reza’s virtuoso and passionate performances combined with informal and welcoming concerts attract large and supportive audiences.

Individually, group members have performed worldwide with renowned orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Repertoire includes music from classical composers to contemporary world premieres, and also arrangements by members of the group of different music genres including baroque, tango and jazz.

'It was wonderful. Real privilege to hear such outstanding music on our doorstep.' J Harrison

‘They are in a league of their own, absolutely thrilling… Their music sounds so spontaneous as if improvised and is also such a delight to watch with their frequent exchanges and obvious enjoyment’ A Turrall

Ensemble Reza became a registered charity in 2014. Charitable activities have been designed to reach a varied demographic across our local community and include free monthly lunchtime concerts, an evening concert series, family concerts, workshops and masterclasses in mainstream and special educational needs schools and a community orchestra for people of all ages and abilities.

Nationally the Reza Community Orchestra has generated interest amongst the BBC Ten Pieces and BBC National Music Day Teams. Ensemble Reza became official BBC Ten Pieces Champions in 2015 and the BBC have invited Ensemble Reza to talk twice about this project at their Champion’s Conference. The Community Orchestra’s involvement in the BBC Music Day in 2017 was featured as part of a national BBC Music Day Quiz and our latest orchestra film was posted on the BBC Ten Pieces website in 2018.
