Melos Ensemble Of London
London's Melos Ensemble was founded in 1950 by violist Cecil Aronowitz, clarinetist Gervase de Peyer, flutist Richard Adeney, and cellist Terence Weil. All its members held positions in notable orchestras and also appeared as soloists.
It is not to be confused with the Melos Art Ensemble, a more recently formed Italian group. They are also not associated with the Melos Quartett, a Stuttgart-based standard string quartet.
