La Nuova Musica has established itself as one of the most distinctive voices in the early music field. Under the direction of founder and Artistic Director, David Bates, La Nuova Musica strives to reveal new aspects of familiar repertoire, focussing on works for voice and instrumentalists, through dynamic performances of both masterpieces and lesser-known works from across the Baroque and Classical periods, alongside new commissions.
