Ensemble Symposium is a distinguished classical music ensemble with a deep-seated passion for exploring the nuanced realms of chamber music from the Baroque and Classical eras. Renowned for their meticulous research and authentic interpretation of period works, the ensemble has carved out a niche for themselves in the classical music landscape, particularly revered for their performances of string quartet literature. Comprising a dynamic group of musicians who specialize in historically informed performance practice, Ensemble Symposium brings life to compositions with a freshness that bridges the gap between historical context and contemporary appreciation.

Their recent endeavors have seen them delve into the rich catalog of Luigi Boccherini, a composer and cellist whose work typifies the elegance of the classical style. With albums like "Boccherini: String Quartets, Op. 26" and "Boccherini: Stabat Mater, String Quartet, Op. 41/1," Ensemble Symposium has offered listeners an auditory journey into the delicate yet expressive world of 18th-century music. They have also paid homage to other notable composers such as Bartolomeo Campagnoli with "Campagnoli: 6 String Quartets" and Georg Philipp Telemann with "Telemann: Scherzi Melodichi," expanding their repertoire and showcasing their versatility in giving voice to the lesser-known gems of early classical music. Through their dedication to the craft and insightful interpretations, Ensemble Symposium has solidified its reputation as one of the leading proponents of early classical string quartets, resonating with both connoisseurs and newcomers to the genre.
