InspīrātĭoEnsemble is a classical music ensemble composed of accomplished soloists who perform varied concerts ranging from solo recitals, duets and trios to ensemble works involving several musicians and singers. Based in Portsmouth, the ensemble operates as a collective, co-founded by Mikhail Lezdkan, a renowned cellist and soloist who is joined by violinist Catherine Lawlor and pianist Béla Hartmann as principal musicians.
Our musical partners include other accomplished soloists who perform with the ensemble as guests for particular repertoire.
The ensemble performs concerts and recitals throughout the year including collaborations that combine classical music with other performance arts, creative activities, and cultural events at venues in Portsmouth and further afield.
