Ensemble OX is a flexible chamber ensemble performing contemporary music by great composers

Founded in 2008 by Marion Ackrill and Keith Fairbairn, the ensemble's inventive concert programming takes inspiration from the Nash and Endymion Ensembles, while most of its players and singers live in Oxfordshire.

"...fast moving and delightfully informal ... this refreshing concert." (Giles Woodforde, Oxford Times.
