Ana y La Locura is a newly-formed ensemble, specialising in unusual baroque song and dance music. Soprano Ana Beard Fernández has performed as a soloist with several distinguished baroque ensembles, including Rachel Podger's Brecon Baroque, I Fagiolini, Florilegium, Barokksolistene, La Nuova Musica, Le Concert D’Astrée and the Hanover Band, at prestigious venues including Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, Salisbury Cathedral, Winchester Cathedral and St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Members of La Locura include cellist Iain Hall (co-founder of baroque ensemble Liturina) and theorbo and chitara player Eligio Quinteiro.

Ana y La Locura will bring their new programme 'Je suis la folie' to the Festival de La Gente, a baroque festival near Limoges, in the summer, and to St. Clement Danes on the Strand, as part of their popular Sunday recital series, alongside other appearances.
