Biography

Established by cellist Laurie Howe, the Lyric Ensemble has been part of South Africa's music industry for more than 10 years.

The ensemble consists of professional musicians who were trained locally and overseas, and who currently play in various professional orchestras in the Gauteng Area.  Be it a soothing cello solo or duet, a vibrant string trio, a quartet to wine and dine to, jazz to relax to, or a band to dance to, the Lyric Ensemble will set the mood for your special occasion.

REPERTOIRE

The repertoire for chamber groups includes Light Classic, Viennese, Italian, Celtic, Lloyd Webber, Sinatra, and popular music.  Be it a soothing cello solo or duet, a vibrant string trio, a quartet to wine and dine to, jazz to listen to, or a band to dance to, the Lyric Ensemble will set the mood for your special occasion.
