Andrew Hodges, the guiding light behind the Cloud Ensemble has a creative philosophy based on the notion of 'Music For All'. This means that we in The Cloud have a diverse, non-elitist, inclusive approach to music-making. This informs all our musical decisions.
Based on the classical string quartet, the Cloud Ensemble is a small group of amateur musicians who perform music designed for a much broader, more inclusive audience than is normally the case.
Employing the string quartet as our starting point, we add other instruments in a variety of combinations; a solo soprano, a solo guitarist, a solo violinist or a french horn. Additionally our byline is "real and virtual' which means that we, in a very creative sense, fully embrace present-day culture & its technology.
Andrew recomposes, rearranges and creates our music in a classical style in such a way as to appeal to the many different types of people who are now becoming much more attracted to the classical 'style' of music.
