Amalthea Ensemble – A Tale of Joy tour.
About the Ensemble
The Amalthea Ensemble was formed in 2022 by flautist Meg Diamond and cellist Alice Cheer with the aim of bringing chamber music in many forms to a variety of audiences. Our name and logo, the cornucopia, represent the plentiful offerings of our ensemble; in Greek mythology, Amalthea is a nymph in the form of a goat that cared for Zeus when he was being hidden from Cronos. Amalthea provided all necessities to Zeus, and it is her horn that the traditional cornucopia is based on.
Since its inception, they have performed in Moseley Road Baths on several occasions, and at the Alexandra Theatre, the Library of Birmingham and numerous churches across the country. They have had coaching from Rose Redgrave and Will Hammond, and have commissioned works from composers Georgia Denham, Millicent B James and Oli Parker, and artist Rhea D’Souza. They are always looking to collaborate with more musicians and interact with wider audiences, and look forward to future concerts and projects.
