Continuo Connect — Profile // Ensemble Augelletti

‘The playing is wonderful, with exquisite sensitivity, a refined tone and perfect balance between the instruments.’
— Early Music Reviews, May 2022

Founded in 2019, Ensemble Augelletti specialises in creating programmes that connect baroque chamber music to the every-day stories of people living in the 18th century. They are the current New Generation Baroque Ensemble supported by BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music, and the Royal College of Music.

Ensemble Augelletti specialises in creating programmes that connect baroque chamber music to the every-day stories of people living in the 18th century. They perform regularly on BBC Radio 3 and have performed in several UK Arts Festivals; London, Brighton, and York Early Music Festivals. They were finalists of the York International Young Artists Competition in 2022 and winners of the FBAS young artist competition in Italy in 2019. Their debut CD of trio sonatas entitled ‘The library of a Prussian Princess’ was released on Barn Cottage Records in February 2022.

Their year-long digital project, ‘Pick a Card…’, kindly supported by Continuo Foundation, explores the historical playing cards collection housed in the British Museum. This project was released via weekly videos on our social media channels in collaboration with the Voces8 Foundation and Brighton Early Music Festival and has so far reached around 16k viewers in more than 35 countries.

Other recent programmes include 'Mrs Philharmonica', ‘A Spring in Lockown’, ‘New Beginnings’, and 'Arcadian Wilderness'.
