The Rossetti Ensemble
was created in 2018 from long-standing collaborations between pianist John Lenehan, violinist Sara Trickey, violist Sarah-Jane Bradley and Cellist Tim Lowe. Named after Dante Gabriel, the British poet and Pre-Raphaelite artist, the group is passionate about the repertoire of the era and the many composers who derived inspiration from Rossetti's work such as Debussy and Vaughan Williams. In addition to piano quartets the group is flexible, working with other high profile instrumentalists and singers to produce imaginative and varied programmes. As "Sound Collective", previous concerts have included London King's Place, and the Lichfield and Ripon International Festivals as well as a CD "Concertato" of chamber works by Lydia Kakabadse. This was released on the Divine Art label in February 2017.The new group's forthcoming engagements include concerts throughout the UK, the Little Missenden Festival and Kendal Midday series.​
