Chamber Domaine is at the cutting edge of music making in the 21st Century. Its excellence and dynamism have received widespread acclaim in the United Kingdom and abroad: The ensemble was described on BBC Radio 3 as “the most innovative ensemble in Britain today.”
The ensemble prides itself on its creativity, innovation and communication, developing partnerships that take music to diverse audiences. Under the artistic direction of Thomas Kemp, Chamber Domaine focuses on instrumental chamber music and song with programmes that range from the Baroque through to Contemporary; chamber ensemble through to chamber orchestra. Its groundbreaking projects illuminate the music of today with music from three centuries.
Chamber Domaine brings passion, commitment and high virtuosity to a diverse repertoire that makes music come alive whilst placing it into its cultural context. The ensemble gave its highly praised South Bank and Wigmore Hall debuts in 1999 and since then has performed at leading festivals and concert series in the United Kingdom, Europe and North America.
Since 2004, Chamber Domaine has had a residency at Gresham College in the City of London. It has also had residencies at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Imperial War Museum, London, Bargemusic, New York and the Arnold Schoenberg Centre, Vienna. The ensemble has an education programme with the Wigmore Hall Education and Community department. It has an ongoing project Music of Our Time which links art, poetry, architecture and music from the 20th Century in workshops and concerts, notably with the actress Helen Lederer and the composer David Horne.
Chamber Domaine frequently gives world and UK premières by leading composers and has worked with Judith Bingham at the City of London Festival, Piers Hellawell at the Cheltenham International Festival and Arvo Part at the Edinburgh Festival. It has broadcast on BBC Radio 3, WNYC (USA), SR (Sweden) and ORF Austria) and has recorded for Sanctuary Classics on the Blackbox and ASV labels winning plaudits for its recordings of music by Ned Rorem, Arvo Part and Arthur Bliss.
