INDIGO ENSEMBLE

The Indigo Ensemble, a chamber music quartet with a nontraditional instrumentation consisting of violin, guitar, bass & piano. Their repertoire encompasses four continents and three centuries. The aural possibilities of the group are enhanced by the fact that all the musicians play multiple instruments. Their repertoire is completely uninhibited and ranges from Bach to Ravel to Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix to Astor Piazzolla to Hugo Blanco. Members of the Indigo Ensemble have been collaborating with one another for many years. What started as sporadic musical encounters evolved into an eager exploration of world chamber music by four committed friends who share one common goal:
to make intimate, fun, exciting music without borders, always reaching to connect with each other and the audience. Our audience will remember double bassist, Peter Nelson, from his appearance with the Thüringer Salonquintett (10/13/08).
