The Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble was founded in 1993 by the musician, composer, and inventor of the ‘Lyons C Clarinet’ Graham Lyons and continues as a thriving adult amateur wind ensemble under the direction of Shea Lolin, who was appointed in March 2005.
BWE provides adult amateur woodwind players with the opportunity to promote and develop their musical ability and ensemble skills in a relaxed and informal setting, to build a varied repertoire of woodwind ensemble music, and to perform in public.
Acknowledged for creating bold and distinctive programmes, BWE collaborates with imaginative artists across the genres on a wide-ranging programme from arrangements of light music, core repertoire and works by contemporary composers. The Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble has commissioned three original works and well over fifty arrangements.
The Bloomsbury Woodwind Ensemble is a member of Making Music and British Association of Symphonic Wind Bands and Ensembles. BWE is an equal opportunities group.
