Explore Ensemble live in London

Experience Explore Ensemble live on December 1st

Explore Ensemble presents a concert on December 1st, 2026, at Milton Court in London. The ensemble is recognised for its performance of contemporary classical music, frequently commissioning new works and focusing on innovative approaches to chamber music. Their repertoire often incorporates extended techniques and explores the boundaries between acoustic and electronic sounds, drawing influence from both European modernism and spectral music traditions. They are known for collaborative projects with artists across disciplines.

Milton Court is a concert hall located within the Barbican Centre complex in the City of London. Opened in 2003, it was designed by architects Allies and Morrison as a dedicated space for the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, though it also hosts public performances. The hall is renowned for its excellent acoustics, specifically designed to suit a range of instrumental and vocal ensembles. Its construction involved significant restoration of the surrounding historic buildings damaged during World War II; the site previously housed bombed-out structures. The hall’s interior features timber cladding sourced from sustainable forests and prioritises natural light where possible. It seats approximately 608 people and is considered a key venue for contemporary music within London’s cultural landscape.
