In the face of adversity, 2020 has seen the 12 Ensemble cement their reputation as a leading light in the UK classical music scene. From performing one of a select-few live televised concerts at the BBC Proms, to the outstanding critical reception for their album Death & the Maiden and being shortlisted for a prestigious RPS Award, the ensemble have thrilled audiences and listeners with their powerful and innovative music making.

The 12 Ensemble’s unique approach to rehearsing, performing & programming sets them apart as a revolutionary classical ensemble for the 21st century. In demand internationally, past engagements have seen them perform at the Barbican, Berlin Philharmonie and Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, plus tours in the USA and Asia. This year, their latest album has been listened to over 3 million times online across the globe, garnering widespread critical praise. After a year of cancelled performances, the ensemble are now looking forward to re-connecting with their audiences through a brand-new collection of programmes for 2021 and beyond.
