An ultra-flexible instrumental combination
Ten core members are joined by guests to enable the widest possible range of programming from standard classical to new musical worlds.
A unique soundworld
Theorbo, electric guitar, harpsichord, string quartet, piano, flute, vibraphone, vocalist, dancer - a melting pot for creativity and innovation.
Where ideas can become reality
The Sheridan Ensemble's members are all internationally active as soloists and chamber musicians in the worlds of Baroque, Classical, Contemporary, Jazz, Pop and Cabaret. Creativity is the bottom line. No holds barred.
