The Tailleferre Ensemble is a UK-based chamber collective, founded in 2019 by Nicola Hands and Penelope Smith, whose aim is to promote women in music. The group is a chamber ensemble of flexible line-up and size, offering recitals of varied instrumentation and musical genre, including established, lesser-known and contemporary works. They have a special interest in redressing the balance of works performed by male and female composers, and in promoting new works.
The group perform regularly around the UK, and have recently played at St. John’s Smith Square, Conway Hall and for the Nottingham Chamber Music Festival. They have also played for Aylesbury Lunchtime Concerts, Music-at-Hill, Leatherhead Concert & Arts Society, at St. James Piccadilly, St. Martin’s Epsom, Chapel Royal Brighton and All Saints High Wycombe, and the group has also collaborated with Façade Ensemble and the South Florida Chamber Ensemble (SFCE) in London. In October 2019 they premiered work by Welsh composer Rhian Samuel, who has since dedicated new work to the ensemble.
