The Bristol Ensemble, formerly the Emerald Ensemble,[1] is a professional chamber orchestra, based in Bristol, England. The ensemble has been in existence since 1994, when it was formed as a musicians' collective by violinist Roger Huckle.[2] Their repertoire includes classical, popular, jazz and contemporary music.[3] The size of the group depends on the programmes being performed and can range from trios to a full complement of 70 or so musicians.[4] They perform standing up (except in orchestral concerts).[5]
