Great music, lively presentation
Our programmes mix great composers such as Vivaldi, Bach and Handel with other rare treats. Wild, sweet, passionate, flirtatious, our music ranges from the exciting new styles of the early seventeenth century to high-baroque and pre-classical masterpieces. We always talk to the audience and often introduce the music with readings and anecdotes.

Visually stunning
In addition to our high-quality musicianship, varied and colourful sound-textures, and infectious enthusiasm, our performances are visually stunning. Our fabulous harpsichord, decorated with eighteenth-century painting and gold leaf, forms a musical and visual centrepiece that will take your breath away. A feast for the eyes as well as the ears!

Practical
We bring our own harpsichord (at no extra cost), so we can play in any venue and don't need a piano to be provided. We have a choice of harpsichords which allows us to be flexible to fit with different venues and budgets.

Venues
Venues range from International Music Festivals to small village churches, and our programmes have also proved popular in music societies and universities throughout Britain. We often perform in historic buildings but are just as much at home in modern concert halls. Click here for a list of past venues
