Biography —

Wigmore Soloists is a new chamber ensemble comprising a roster of outstanding musicians, led by Michael Collins and Isabelle van Keulen, and created with Wigmore Hall’s Director, John Gilhooly.

This new and innovative ensemble performs repertoire both old and new, and commissions leading composers to expand upon the extensive catalogue of chamber music works. With a large core line up of string quintet, wind quintet and piano, the group performs a wide and varied repertoire and is dedicated to revitalising great works at the highest level.

Taking the name of one of the world’s most iconic concert halls (the first time an ensemble has been given this honour), the group gives regular concerts at Wigmore Hall and in other major venues around the world. The ensemble has recorded three discs so far: Schubert’s Octet, Mozart Clarinet Quintet and most recently a Clarinet Trios disc, on BIS Records. Their 2022/23 Season will see them continuing their residency at Wigmore Hall, as well as performing a busy schedule of UK engagements and making debut performances in Austria, Ireland and Turkey.
