Sylva Winds
Formed of students and recent graduates of the Royal Academy of Music, Sylva Winds is a versatile and passionate chamber ensemble with a vision of revolutionising the perception of the wind quintet. They were founded at the Royal Academy of Music, where they won the prestigious Nicholas Blake Woodwind Ensemble Prize in March 2020 and the Digital Chamber Music Prize in March 2021. For their prizewinning entry, the group created a virtual cross-media performance of Sylva Winds member Zoë Tweed’s original composition, inspired by the poem ‘Jabberwocky’, with Drake Gritton, another member of Sylva Winds, narrating (a video of which can be found on their YouTube channel!).
The ensemble have performed in various venues in and around London and enjoy performing the rich traditional wind quintet repertoire, whilst also finding great value in the performance of music in innovative and experimental ways. Recent performance highlights include premiering Bernado Simoes’ Blurred at the Brunel Museum in 2019 and Chelsea Becker's latency inspired piece Intermission during the COVID-19 first national lockdown, via Zoom in June 2020. In addition to this, Sylva Winds collaborated with the Brazilian Embassy in Spring 2021, to produce a recital series entitled Marés, where they recorded their performance of Martin Butler’s Down Hollow Winds, featuring experimentation and manipulation of lighting, filming and acoustic space. Future engagements for the ensemble include collaborating with award-winning composer Ellis Howarth, as well as a residencies in France with Ferrandou Musique and on the Isle of Coll with the Tunnell Trust in 2022.
