Ellie Blamires:
Flute

 Ellie enjoys a diverse freelance career, performing worldwide in orchestras, chamber ensembles, and as a soloist. She plays regularly with many of the country’s leading orchestras, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia. Ellie can often be found giving solo recitals at establishments including the Foundling Museum, Leicester Cathedral and Folkestone New Music, where she premiered Colin Matthews’ ‘Five Untitled Pieces’ for Flute in 2023. 

Chamber music is central to Ellie’s career: through her work with Ensemble Renard, she has facilitated several commissions, recordings and high profile performances, including a debut recital at the Aldeburgh Festival in 2023.

Ellie read Music at New College, Oxford, before completing a Master’s at the Royal Academy of Music, where her studies were generously supported by the Academy’s Harold Alcock Wrigley scholarship, Help Musicians UK and the Countess of Munster Trust. She received further orchestral training as a member of Southbank Sinfonia and Philharmonia MMSF Fellow.
