Magnificent Brecon Baroque are masters of an impressive palette” (Diapason D’Or). The dynamic ensemble Brecon Baroque consists of an international line-up of world-class virtuosi in the period-instrument world. Together they specialise in one-to-a-part repertoire including Vivaldi, Biber, and Bach which “releases a freedom and buoyancy in the playing” (Financial Times) and spotlights each member alongside group director Rachel Podger.

Brecon Baroque’s busy last season included a residency at Kings Place as part of Rachel’s Artist in Focus year; continued tours of Vivaldi The Four Seasons to support its Vivaldi concerti box-set release on Channel Classics and the piece’s 300^th anniversary; a Christmas tour with I Fagiolini of Angels and Demons which has taken the group across the UK; new Bach and Biber programmes including From Darkness to Light; and album releases of Bach Goldberg Variations Reimagined, arranged especially for Rachel and Brecon Baroque by Chad Kelly and The Muses Restor’d, a journey of captivating violin-led chamber music from Jacobean to Early Georgian England. Brecon Baroque is managed worldwide by Percius. www.percius.co.uk
