Her Ensemble is a pioneering all-women and non-binary string ensemble based in the UK, acclaimed for their dedication to promoting gender equality in the classical music industry. Formed and led by the innovative Ellie Consta, Her Ensemble has established a distinctive presence within the contemporary music scene, blending classical traditions with modern sensibilities and social activism. Their work often includes bold arrangements of classical pieces, such as their adaptation of the "Cello Sonata, Op. 46: II. Andante Sostenuto," as well as original compositions that resonate with their ethos, like "Ropes" and "Spotlight."

With a focus on both live performances and studio recordings, Her Ensemble distinguishes themselves through their dynamic interpretations and engaging projects. Their releases, which include "Bright Star," elegantly arranged for string quartet, and the evocative "Semplice Sempre," showcase their versatility and skill in breathing new life into classical music. The live album, "Her Ensemble Presents... (Live at The state51 Conservatoire)," captures the raw energy and emotion they bring to their performances, further solidifying their role as a transformative force in the world of classical strings. With tracks such as "Rêverie," "Forgive Yourself," and "Coma (for Strings)," Her Ensemble continues to craft a legacy that is as much about their exquisite musicianship as it is about their advocacy for inclusivity in the arts.
