Founded in 2019, Ensemble Augelletti were New Generation Baroque Ensemble in partnership with BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music, and the Royal College of Music and City Music Foundation Artists 2024-5.

They are now regarded as among the most innovative and exciting period instrument ensembles who specialise in creating engaging programmes that tell the everyday stories of people living in the 17th and 18th centuries through baroque chamber music.

Describing Bach’s students as ‘jewels that brightly burn’, Telemann championed Bach’s skill in arranging music to inspire a new generation of musicians as they performed ‘under the orange tree’ in Leipzig. Through their letters and memoirs, this programme tells the story of Bach’s students as they became ‘jewels’. The programme includes arrangements of Bach’s joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann’s stunning ‘Paris’ quartets, and sonatas and dances by Pisendel, Fasch and Torelli.
