Described in its debut concert as ‘beguiling’, their programmes are inspired by historical characters. They have quickly established a busy concert schedule across the UK. The trio lead busy freelance lives and work with many of Europe’s leading orchestras and ensembles including The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Academy of Ancient Music, La Nuova Musica, The English Concert and The Monteverdi Choir.
