The Astralis Chamber Ensemble is an innovative and dynamic ensemble performing with much acclaim across the globe. Through creative programming and presentations on the works performed, Astralis aims to make classical music more accessible and for audiences to make a lasting connection to the music. Concert tours are arranged to include rural communities and those without access to classical music. Astralis includes an assortment of musicians to cover a broad range of repertoire and ensemble combinations to fit each performance. These musicians have performed together for many years and some for over a decade on major concert series and at notable venues. Formed in 2011 as Duo Astralis (flute and piano), the ensemble expanded in 2017 to include programs for flute, trumpet, cello, harp, and piano. With instrument pairings that are unique worldwide, the ensemble expands the repertoire available through yearly commissions and arrangements. ACE aims to support the development of the arts through new compositions and reach communities of all backgrounds through music.
