"...dazzlingly good chamber ensemble…
exuberantly expressive, intimate style…
gorgeously idiomatic playing’ The Times
The Fibonacci Sequence was founded in 1994 by its artistic director, pianist Kathron Sturrock. Now well established as one of the foremost chamber ensembles in Britain, it is distinguished by the quality and high profile of its players and by the imagination and variety of its programming, making full use of the range and versatility of the chamber music repertoire. Its players are noted for the zest and enthusiasm they communicate to their audience.

The Fibonacci Sequence has a busy recording schedule: CDs of chamber music by Ned Rorem for Naxos, and John McCabe for Dutton Epoch have been released to glowing reviews and the ensemble has started an exciting project of a series of chamber music CDs for the recording company Deux-Elles. ‘ Harp’ appeared in 2004 and ‘Bassoon’ in 2005... “ Skinner's expertise and sensitivity are perfectly matched by his colleagues, notably the pianist Kathron Sturrock.’ The CD “Horn’ was released in 2007 and ‘Oboe’ will be released later this year. ‘Clarinet’, with the Dohnanyi Sextet, and ‘Violin’, devoted to the Schubert Octet, are being recorded this year, along with Messiaen’s ‘Quartet for the End of Time’ to celebrate his centenary.

The commission for the ensemble by the distinguished composer Graham Fitkin, based on the Dohnanyi sextet instrumentation, will be ready early in 2009, and the ensemble has also begun a collaboration with the Royal College of Music for concerts and workshops.Details of these and all other Fibonacci events can be found on the website.

The group is named after Leonardo of Pisa, a great mediaeval mathematician, commonly known as Fibonacci. The series of numbers named after him occurs throughout the natural world in the most extraordinary way, appearing magically, in petals of flowers, branches of trees, and many more complex way. The relation of the numbers to each other is directly connected to the Golden Section, held by many to determine the most harmonious proportions in art and music.
