In 1995, seven young Faroese musicians formed an ensemble with the main purpose to perform
and promote Faroese music. This ensemble is Aldubáran. Today Aldubáran has 13 members
playing the flute, clarinet, horn, trumpet, violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano. This rather
untraditional combination of instruments makes for great diversity in concerts and gives scope
for composers. Aldubáran has commissioned and premièred a vast number of works by
Faroese and foreign composers which have been well received by the press and public.
