Hyperion Ensemble
November 20, 2005

The Hyperion Ensemble has become the talk of chamber music circles in Europe. The mission of Hyperion is to offer audiences a range of unorthodox concert programs featuring well-known works coupled with seldom heard chamber music in a new context thereby changing the way they are perceived by the listener.
