ISCA

ENSEMBLE

Exeter, South West England.

The ISCA Ensemble is a group of leading string instrumentalists based in the South West of England near the Roman City of Exeter. It offers a range of professional musical events and can vary the number of players required to suit the occasion. The ensemble comprises:

  • The ISCA String Quartet, which specialises in providing concerts (often for charity), elegant music for weddings, receptions, business meetings, civil services, corporate functions and parties. 

  • The full ISCA Ensemble (up to 20 players mostly strings) which stages small-scale specialist chamber concerts featuring popular classical repertoire. It can also, upon request, incorporate leading soloists for specific events.

ISCA can perform background music and give formal recitals. Choose your own favourite music or let us help you design an appropriate programme for your function, wedding or reception and create that very special atmosphere. If the venue and weather permit, we will also play outside in the open and thereby further enrich your special occasion. Our repertoire is extensive and spans the centuries from Baroque, Romantic to light music .The ISCA Ensemble players are available for engagements and concerts throughout the South West of England.
