The Galiano Ensemble of Victoria thanks our loyal and enthusiastic audience who has made the past 10 years such a joyful decade of music-making. We couldn’t have done it without you! If you haven’t done so yet, please subscribe to our 12th season of memorable concerts. Those who have already discovered the Galiano Ensemble have praised our performances as “exquisite...dazzling playing” and “music-making of the highest order.”

Founded in 1999, the Galiano Ensemble is composed of some of Victoria's finest string players. Among its members are those whose names are immediately recognizable as foremost practitioners of the art of chamber music.

Under the leadership of their director and founder, Yariv Aloni, the Ensemble is dedicated to giving virtuoso performances of chamber orchestra masterworks spanning four centuries. The orchestra is large enough to produce a full and brilliant sound, yet small enough to play with great precision and close communication between musicians and conductor.

Find out more about the Galiano Ensemble’s next concerts here. We look forward to seeing you in the audience.
