Founded in 2019, Ensemble Augelletti 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.
2024 brings their debut at Beverley Early Music and London Handel Festivals, their first BBC Radio 3 Early Music Show episodes and a large-scale education project ‘Augelletti’s Aviary’ in collaboration with Voces8.
Their year-long digital project, ‘Pick a Card…’, kindly supported by the Continuo Foundation, explored 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 33k viewers in more than 35 countries.
Other recent projects include ‘The Mystery of Mrs Philarmonica’, ‘A Spring in Lockdown’, ‘New Beginnings’, and 'Arcadian Wilderness'.
