La Nuova Musica

La Nuova Musica is a vocal and instrumental ensemble dedicated to the music of the European Renaissance and Baroque. In less than five years since its foundation by counter-tenor David Bates, it has shot to prominence in the UK and abroad. Already a regular guest at the foremost Early Music venues and festivals, including King’s Place, Wigmore Hall and the Aldeburgh, Spitalfields and London Handel festivals, La Nuova Musica is establishing itself amongst critics and audiences as both a fixture and a breath of fresh air.

We are getting very excited about our first recording session with harmonia mundi USA. The great Dixit Dominus-es of Handel (HWV232) and Vivaldi (RV807) will joust either side of soprano Lucy Crowe, who will perform Vivaldi's solo cantata In furore iustissimae RV626. The sessions are being sponsored by R.Moulding & Co., whose generosity we acknowledge with the utmost gratitude.

Our first CD, of Handel's Il Pastor Fido, will be launched on harmonia mundi USA at a special concert on Friday 13th April at the London Handel Festival. There'll be much more information appearing about that in due course, so keep checking back for updates.
