We have a wide range of fascinating repertoire and are happy to tailor programmes to suit a particular venue or theme. We can include the viola d'amore on request.

Sample programmes

A Baroque Musical Feast

A delicious selection of sumptuous sonatas, rich melodies and tantalising counterpoint from across eighteenth-century Europe. Music by the greatest baroque masters from Germany, Italy, France and England, including Handel, Corelli, Couperin and Bach. This programme forms the basis of our CD, L'Eleganza.


Viva Vivaldi!

Vivacious, vibrant, violin virtuosity ... via Vivaldi's Venice! A musical journey to eighteenth-century Italy in the company of Vivaldi, Scarlatti and contemporaries. The tour begins and ends in 'La Serenissima' where Vivaldi composed for the girls of the Ospedali della Pietà. Sparkling virtuoso pieces, such as concertos from the 'Four Seasons', are interspersed with readings that vividly evoke contemporary Italian musical life.


The King's Delight

Music from the royal courts and theatres of Restoration and Georgian London, from elegant sonatas to rumbustious country dances. An evening in the company of Purcell, Handel, Playford and friends. We set the scene with evocative readings and humorous anecdotes by Pepys, Boswell and Johnson.

Education programmes

Children's concerts

We have considerable experience at performing in schools and have tailor-made programmes for children which tie in with the National Curriculum, including the theme of the Tudors for primary-aged children. These are concerts rather than workshops, but are highly interactive and incorporate lots of opportunity to join in, learn about the unusual instruments, and ask questions.


Lecture Recitals

These are available for older students and adult audiences. We are pleased to meet specific requests for themes, but examples can include the history of the violin from its origins to the present day, the development of early keyboard repertoire, eighteenth-century national styles, or a more detailed survey of one country or composer from the baroque period.
