WMS: Divertimenti Quintet

Paul Barritt and Rachel Isserlis (violins), Jonathan Barritt (viola), Josephine Horder and Sebastian Comberti (cellos) make up this outstanding ensemble. All five are top ranking players with a wealth of concert experience.

“You look as if you are really enjoying yourselves!” is the consistent audience response to Divertimenti Ensemble concerts, which are remarkable for their vibrant, spontaneous and communicative performances. An unusual combination of entertaining informality with musical excellence and professionalism, coupled with colourful and informative introductions, adds a special quality of inclusive sharing to the whole concert experience.
