The Ambache Chamber Ensemble has included music by Mozart in all its concerts since its formation in 1984. It functions both as an Ensemble and a Chamber Orchestra, and has performed twenty of Mozart’s piano concertos. The press frequently comment on their exceptional rapport, with “playing full of life and a rare, exuberant spirit” (Daily Telegraph).

They give regular London concerts at St John’s Smith Square, and have made four National Tours sponsored by the Arts Council of England. They have toured America and the Far East, with appearances on television in Hong Kong and Korea.

Diana Ambache (piano) was short listed for the European Women of Achievement Awards 2002. She is the only woman in Britain to found and direct her own classical chamber orchestra. She has given many performances of Mozart Piano Concertos and recorded ten of them. Numerous BBC broadcasts include a series of several features for Women’s Hour. Her pioneering work returning music by women to the standard repertoire led to several new CDs and the creation of the web site www.womenofnote.co.uk. She has toured extensively internationally to 33 countries.
