"Unapologetically adventurous and fearless, these new kids on the block are shaking up the contemporary classical world through their lively performances and diehard commitment to new music." Nonclassical

The Hermes Experiment is a contemporary quartet made up of harp, clarinet, soprano and double bass. Winners of the Nonclassical Battle of the Bands 2014, the ensemble has been establishing itself in London’s contemporary classical scene. 

The Hermes Experiment is dedicated to creating music which is innovative and unique; with no existing repertoire, everything that the ensemble performs is new. Each programme balances new commissions with creative arrangements of known works, while the interspersed free improvisation guides the audience from one piece to the next. With tight, thematic programming and spoken programme notes, each of the group’s performances takes on a theatrical quality.
