An eclectic mix of traditional world musics, gypsy, jazz, improvisation and our own fusions of these, executed with virtuosic skill, innovation, creativity, infectious energy, a sense of adventure and an exuberance of spirit. Music to take you beyond, and make you move.

"These four talented musicians have the skill to make music of the highest quality look easy. They play together with complete trust...This concert was exhilarating and seemingly faultless"

With responses like this to the well over 200 gigs Beyondsemble have played since launching in New Zealand in 2009, it is no surprise the band has shot into the limelight on the local festival scene and is getting a lot of attention offshore.

Their debut album "Beyondsemble" came out in September 2011 and has had great reviews.
