The Lonarc Wind Ensemble first performed in 2010, as the Promenade Wind Ensemble, for the Grosvenor Estate's Motcombe Street summer street party.  

​

2012-2016 we performed annually at the Spitalfields Market as part of their acoustic 'Free to Public' summer concerts.

Since researching more fully with the wind chamber music composed for the Double Reed Schwarzenberg Wind Harmonie we are now concentrating on performing and recording this body of work
