Oculi Ensemble

The Oculi Ensemble is a flexible seven-member group that is capable of performing a variety of repertory. It is an offshoot of the Badke Quartet, with the members of that quartet at its core. The Oculi Ensemble performs music ranging from string duo and trio to the full septet. It performs music from Haydn and Mozart to Anton Webern. The Oculi Ensemble made its recording debut in 2021 with Metamorphosen: Strauss Chamber Works; the album featured a newly realized version of the original septet conception by Strauss of the 23-instrument title work.
