Founded in 2019, Ensemble Augelletti are the current New Generation Baroque Ensemble in partnership with BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music, and the Royal College of Music.
Ensemble Augelletti specialise in creating innovative programmes that connect baroque chamber music to the every-day stories of people living in the 18th Century. They are known for engaging performances that demonstrate an ‘equal capacity for elegant pathos and rip-roaring technical dexterity.’ (The Arts Desk, 2024).
Ensemble Augelletti perform regularly on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ and ‘Early Music’ Shows and in arts festivals across the UK including York, London, Brighton, and Beverley Early Music Festivals. They were finalists of the York International Young Artist Competition and released their debut CD recording entitled ‘The Library of a Prussian Princess’ on Barn Cottage Records in 2022. Their year-long digital project ‘Pick a Card…’ explored historical playing cards from the British Museum’s collection reaching more than 37K online viewers and their KS1 outreach programme ‘Augelletti’s Aviary’ in collaboration with Voces8 launches in 2024.
They are delighted to have been selected as City Music Foundation Artists from 2024.
