We are a small group of amateur and semi-professional string players who get together for several concerts a year in various locatons around our Worcestershire base and beyond.

 

Our programmes encompass a varied and challenging range of styles, from baroque and classical to contemporary and light, covering music from as far back as the sixteenth century right up to the present day. 

 

We play chamber-style without a conductor, which means working very closely with each other in rehearsal in order to achieve a high standard of concert performance. 

 

The name Volante means “fast and light” and comes from the Italian word for flying. It is used to describe a particular style of bowing, but we have also flown in other ways - concert tours have taken us to Greece, Ostend and Bruges.
