As a group we pride ourselves on the energy and

passion we give each and every performance along

with our style specific improvisations.The group

specialise in 16th and 17th century repertoire with

research into written divisions and the contextual

texts of the time. This practical research is always

greatly influenced by our work with talented singers

in our regular collaborations with consorts, choirs

and opera societies.
