Comprised of young, exceptionally skilled professionals poised to become the next generation of global orchestral leaders, The Outcry Ensemble brings together vibrant energy and captivating performances. Their repertoire programming strikes a balance between cherished classical works and new compositions commissioned from emerging composers. Often, new compositions are specifically commissioned to complement and enrich the experience of listening to beloved classical masterpieces, offering fresh perspectives and enhancing accessibility for audiences.
‘The Outcry Ensemble – an orchestra for budding young professional players – under the exacting direction of their founder and artistic director James Henshaw, performed magnificently, and produced a highly polished, professional sound that would not only grace the platform of any more high-profile concert venue, but left us in no doubt that orchestras with more glitzy reputations will not go short of excellent musicians in future.’ MusicOMH
