String Ensemble
ICSE is now entering its sixth riotously successful year as an ensemble. We perform concerts every term in the local area, as well as taking part in events ranging from ArtsFest to performances in aid of charity. Last year, we continued to broaden our repertoire with string classics by Elgar, Mendelssohn and Stravinsky, as well as performing concertos featuring musicians from within Imperial.
Our reputation for wild partying will always make weekends worth looking forward to, with anything from pubs and pizza to film nights and barn dancing! Our more adventurous socials this year have included ice skating and paintballing. Plans for 2010/11 involve student concertos, a weekend away and a summer tour on the continent.
As the College's only ensemble just for string players we offer a very different experience to the symphony orchestras. Rehearsals are relaxed and friendly with light refreshments, and finish early in the evening, leaving the rest of the night yours to enjoy. If you're interested in making yourself heard as a string player, why don't you join us? We rehearse Friday evenings, in the Great Hall, from 6.15pm.
