The Linos Ensemble, formed in 1977, is a renowned chamber music group that distinguishes itself with a dynamic and flexible lineup, typically playing as a nonet but effortlessly transitioning into smaller arrangements as required by their repertoire. This adaptability has allowed the ensemble to delve into a rich tapestry of chamber music works, ranging from the traditional to the rarely performed, showcasing their dedication to both musical excellence and exploratory zeal.

The ensemble's diverse and ambitious discography underlines their commitment to bringing lesser-known compositions to the forefront, often shining a light on overlooked gems within the classical music canon. Their recent forays include the delicate nuances of Louise Farrenc's compositions, the lush romanticism of Johannes Brahms' Serenades, and the intricate interplay of Henri Bertini's chamber works. They also take on the task of reimagining grander structures within a chamber setting, such as their interpretation of Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde", arranged for voice and chamber ensemble. The Linos Ensemble continues to captivate audiences with their refined interpretations, technical prowess, and an adventurous spirit that embraces both the intimacy of chamber music and the grandeur of orchestral landscapes.
