The Fusion Ensemble comprises the most enthusiastic young instrumentalists from across our network of schools. Players come from a range of backgrounds and levels of experience and learn a diverse set of repertoire across the year, arranged specifically for each player to ensure that they can access the music and develop musically.

The Fusion Ensemble rehearses on six Saturdays across the year in intensive rehearsals, as well as undertaking a weekend residential trip mid-year, and taking part in and end-of-year celebratory concert.

Ark's Inspiring Excellence programme is designed to provide our most committed musicians with intensive musical training in ensemble music-making. Learning from a diverse team of Teaching Artists and each other, each ensemble explores a wide range of music and creative processes.

Our Music Mentors act as role models and provide valuable support to our Teaching Artists through a variety of projects including working with our school choirs and rap clubs, supporting our ops team at events, chaperoning students, and supporting in ensemble rehearsals.

Whilst we are particularly interested in recruiting a cellist, we are happy to consider applicants who may have cello as a second study.
