Continuo Connect — 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. Ensemble Augelletti has performed on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’ and ‘Early Music’ shows, 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 the 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 15k viewers in more than 30 countries.

Ensemble Augelletti’s new project ‘The Mystery of Mrs Philarmonica’ launches in Summer 2023.

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

‘This is a group whose enthusiasm is infectious'
