Halcyon Ensemble Music

The Halcyon Ensemble has as its core the piano and winds quintet, but in order to maintain flexibility and to be able to explore a greater range of the classical and romantic chamber music repertoire, the ensemble enjoys collaborating with guest artists, as well as breaking into smaller combinations within the ensemble.  The Programmes page presents a variety of the programming possibilities that Halcyon can offer.

Compact Discs
In 2003, Halcyon were the winners of the International Young Artists Presentation in Antwerp, and as a result their first CD has been released on the Passacaille label. Please see the Compact Discs page for more details.
