Our July 26, 2021, we will be performing Mozart Symphonies nos 1, 29 and 41 alongside his Violin Concerto no 3 with Rachel Podger at St John’s Smith Square.

Join us for a gorgeous concert of nine beautiful songs by Henry Purcell and a view into what goes into making music during these challenging times.

Purcell's Finest Verses was presented as a live event on 12 February 2021 and is now available for you to watch on demand.

We are thrilled to be included in the Gramophone Awards shortlist for 2020. Our live recording of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice with Iestyn Davies, Sophie Bevan and Rebecca Bottone is listed in the opera category in this prestigious list.

We were so excited to get back to music making by recording these gems of Purcell’s Finest Verses with Tim Mead and Andy Staples. We can’t wait to share the results with you. Tune in on Tuesdays at 6pm throughout September and October

David Bates and Lucy Crowe have a long acquaintance with each other and the fiendish and charismatic heroines of Handel and Mozart. They brought their considerable talents to bear on a stunningly composed programme of operatic arias and serenades at St John’s Smith Square in London on this cold November night …

This is the first version of Gluck’s opera, composed for Vienna in 1762, complete on one CD: not quite penny plain, as David Bates has included the ‘Dance of the Blessed Spirits’ from the Paris version of 1774. It comes from Pentatone, Gramophone’s 2019 Label of the Year, and it’s very fine. It’s hard to believe that it was recorded live, as there’s not a peep from the audience: no coughing, no applause.

A French Affair Looks at the music from James II’s court – celebrating the genius of Henry Purcell, who was influenced by Lully and Charpentier, and who influenced Rameau, Blow and Cassandra Miller.
