Meet the Team

Julia Rogers - our Founder & Director and Sara Lane Rees - our Co-Founder are both professional musicians and great friends. They met on the island of Jersey in 2010 whilst performing at a chamber music festival and have been performing together ever since. Soon after they founded the Sorelli Ensemble. They are passionate about providing the highest quality of delivery and presentation in their performances. The girls pride themselves on their friendly demeanour and their ability to connect with their audiences and clients.

Our Musicians

Julia & Sara make their best efforts to play at all of their bookings however on some occasions they may be unavailable. At The Sorelli Ensemble we have a network of carefully selected professional players to draw upon should we need. All of our players have public liability insurance and have been trained at top music colleges. They have been trialled with the girls so rest assured that their standard is of the highest quality.
