Ensemble Serse is a period band of young international musicians founded by male soprano Calvin Wells. Our aim is to provide a platform to showcase young talent as well as to present neglected dramatic works from the 18th century in historically informed productions. All of our performances are on period instruments.
The inspiration behind the ensemble is the stunning operatic virtuosity of the early eighteenth century, a virtuosity that envelops a wealth of unjustly neglected works; musical gems that have for too long been left to gather dust on library shelves.
