Ensemble Augelletti: Jewels That Brightly Burn

About this event

The critically acclaimed Ensemble Augelletti play beautifully curated programmes that tell the everyday stories of people living in the 17th and 18th centuries through baroque chamber music. They were founded 2019, and regularly perform on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune and festivals across the UK.

Through their letters and memoirs, this beautiful programme tells the story of Bach’s students as they became ‘jewels’. The programme includes arrangements of Bach’s joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann’s stunning ‘Paris’ quartets and sonatas dances by Pisendel, Fasch and Torelli. ‘Delightfully inventive repertoire performed with wit and energy…throughout it demonstrated the ensemble’s equal capacity for elegant pathos and rip-roaring technical dexterity.’ The Arts Desk Suitable for ages 14+
