Solistes de Musique Ancienne was created with the intention of providing a versatile ensemble in which skilled soloists can explore well-known and lesser-known baroque repertoire.

 

 

The orchestra and chorus use minimal forces at all times to allow the true quality of the musicians to shine through in a soloistic way, whilst allowing intimate and beautiful chamber music making.The group draws highly skilled instrumentalists and singers from all London's music conservatoires. Many of them are already well-respected and renowned professionally, and all are accustomed to performing as soloists at the very highest level. The group includes many prestigious scholarship holders and competition winners, and all the members have a specific interest in the baroque period.

The ensemble is directed by founder Joel Newsome.
