We are delighted to be hosting Chapel Street Ensemble for this year’s Christmas concert. 

The Chapel Street Ensemble was formed in 2021, bringing together leading up-and-coming professional musicians from West Cornwall under the guidance of Timothy Dean. Named after one of the most historic and characterful streets in Penzance, the chamber music ensemble initially started as a piano quartet in 2020 and has been growing ever since.

The Ensemble players are Nat Jones (violin), Katy Rowe (violin), Emma Stansfield (viola), Dani Jones (cello), Seb Poznansky (cello), Jacob Perry (clarinet) and Timothy Dean (piano).
