The Hermes Experiment
An underground chamber music artist.
The Hermes Experiment is one of the UK’s leading young contemporary music ensembles. Winners of the Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award 2021 and the Royal Over-Seas League Mixed Ensemble Competition 2019, the group has rapidly built a reputation for vibrant, genre-defying performances. Described by The Arts Desk as “the cool kids of the contemporary music school”, The Hermes Experiment reimagine the concert experience with their idiosyncratic line-up of harp, clarinet, voice and double bass. Their collaborative ethos drives a dynamic programme of over 60 new commissions to date, alongside bold arrangements and electrifying free improvisation. They have released two critically acclaimed albums on Delphian Records – HERE WE ARE and SONG – with their third album TREE due for release in October 2025.
