miré

Introduction

Soprano/composer Héloïse Werner, pianist/organist/composer Kit Downes, and cellist/composer Colin Alexander meet to become miré: a trio where three distinct musical minds collide, entangle, melt and reform. Their own compositions are the subject of focused experimentation with ideas stretched and pulled apart before a new collaborative way forward is found. Combining virtuosic vocals, bright and colourful organ textures and mesmerising cello techniques, miré is the coming together of longtime musical collaborators who provoke, listen and react to create a soundworld like no other. miré released their debut EP, Revelries, in January 2026 on Delphian Records.

    Soprano/composer Héloïse Werner, pianist/organist/composer Kit Downes and cellist/composer Colin Alexander meet to become miré: a trio where three distinct musical minds collide, entangle, melt and reform. Their own compositions become the subject of focused experimentation, with ideas stretched and pulled apart before a new collaborative way forward is found. Combining virtuosic vocals, bright and colourful organ textures and mesmerising cello techniques, miré represent the coming together of long-time musical collaborators whose shared intuition gives rise to a soundscape that is fluid, exploratory and deeply immersive. ‘We listened, motionless, absorbed’ The Observer This performance features tracks from their EP (out 16 Jan 26), alongside improvisatory interludes that lead the audience through a 70-minute programme of continuous and ever-changing new music. A circular seating plan, with the trio at the centre of Kings Place Hall Two, will create an intense and thrilling listening environment — every nuance heard before resonant, immersive harmonies flood the room.

    • One could easily apply the moniker ‘supergroup’ (or super-ensemble) to miré (…) What marks out miré from other contemporary music ensembles is their clear and shared sense of collective ownership over aspects of performance virtuosity, composition and improvisation. (…) the result is always compelling, absorbing and engaging.

    • It is a fantastic debut EP.

    • For all its sunken atmosphere and knotty texture, there is something carnivalesque about Revelries, the debut album from Miré: an upturning of expectations, a pleasure in sound-making for its own sake... This is a group with their own distinct sound. Revelries is restless and urgent, fractured and playful.
