Wytold Ensemble creates original chamber music that blends the energy and movement of a rock club with the warmth and charm of the concert hall. The group celebrates their classically-inspired artistry hand in hand with contemporary grooves and modern spirit from pop, jazz, rock, and world music. Using electronic edge alongside acoustic harmonies and timbres, the Ensemble brings improv back to the chamber world with a flute punch.
The Ensemble features double bassist/composer Ethan Foote, Celtic fiddler Chelle Fulk, Gina Sobel on flute/bass flute/alto saxophone, and jazz guitarist/songwriter Jerry Tolk on the six-string banjo.
They strive to reflect each musician’s unique artistic voice and innovative style throughout their repertoire, which spans from Wytold‘s classically orchestrated compositions to his remixes of famous classical themes and instrumental covers of modern pop and rap songs.
In 2016, Wytold Ensemble was selected as one of five finalists in the 21st Century Musician Emerging Artist Competition held at Depauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.
