THE PELLEAS Ensemble will be appearing at Helmsley Arts Centre on Sunday, March 25 at 7.30pm.

The trio consist of Henry Roberts playing the flute, Luba Tunnicliffe on Viola and Oliver Wass on harp. The night’s programme showcases this innovative young ensemble presenting Debussy’s masterful Sonata for their three respective instruments. The music of Debussy will be performed alongside works by Telemann, Tchaikovsky and Ravel.

The group formed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2011 and recently won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Henderson Chamber Ensemble Award and the 2017 Elias Fawcett Award for Outstanding Chamber Ensemble at the Royal Overseas League Competition.

The group’s viola player, Luba , has performed recitals at the Royal Festival Hall and at St John’s Smith Square. She made her concerto debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra in June 2016.

Henry was principal flute in the LSO Donatella Flick Conducting Competition, and played with the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Hall at Milton Court.

Oliver recently won the Suoni d’Arpa International Competition in Italy and will record a CD with the Tactul Label early next year. He will also be taking part in a masterclass at HAC at 11am the same day.
