Recordings
Watch here to see Dionysus in a chamber music concert in Hampton, September 2021.
Listen here to world first recordings of William Herschel's Sonatas for Harpsichord, Violin & Violoncello,
and the premier recordings of Herschel's Solo Violin Sonatas with Violoncello here - Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4
These sonatas were transcribed from William Herschel's manuscripts & made into printed parts specifically for TDE to record, they haven't been played since before his death in 1822 so no one in living memory has heard this music until now!

TDE commissioned Scottish composer Seonaid Aitken to write a new suite for us for the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, for string quartet, clarinet and harp.
All about female empowerment & celebrating strong women who broke (or are breaking) glass ceilings, there are movements about HM The Queen, Caroline Herschel, and the ethnically diverse women of Slough (incorporating Indian, Punjabi & Polish traditional music ideas).
