Information
St Clements Wind Ensemble
St Clements Wind Ensemble (SCWE) was formed in January 2004 by Maren Heidemann (flute), Rachel Wickham (oboe) and Glenn Colville (horn) and is named after its first rehearsal venue at St Clement & St James in Notting Dale, London.
The ensemble performs woodwind chamber music for different sized groups such as piano sextets, quintets, but also pieces for symphonic wind sections. The players are dedicated to performing beautiful wind chamber music which, although popular with audiences, is often overlooked in concert repertoires.
Maren Heidemann
Maren Heidemann is based in London and is a founding member of the St Clements Wind Ensemble. She specialises in solo recitals and ensemble management and also offers to play piccolo, alto and bass flute for specialised orchestral parts.
Michael Round
Born into a musical family, Michael currently accompanies, arranges, writes for magazines, and occasionally plays in West End theaters - he was for a time Musical Director of Bernstein's 'Wonderful Town'.
Michael teaches at Kingston University, and taught academic studies at Trinity College of Music for eight years. He has given BBC radio talks, including a series for Radio 3 entitled 'The Celeste-Player's Guide to the Orchestra' which in those far-off and gentler days was finally axed for excessive irreverence: the unheard episodes were later serialised in 'Classical Music' magazine and are currently being reworked into a book.
Glenn
Glenn Colville began his musical studies in Australia on piano. While still knee high it was suggested he take lessons from the school's brass teacher. Two weeks into trumpet lessons it was suggested he try the French horn and another successful conversion was completed.
