Ensemble Hesperi is a dynamic and innovative London-based period ensemble, with a reputation for showcasing Baroque Music through intelligent, research-led programming. The four members of Ensemble Hesperi met during their studies at the Royal College of Music in London, and the varied talents of each member of the ensemble combine to present joyful and educational performances for audiences of all kinds. Whether performing as the core ensemble of recorder, baroque violin, baroque cello and harpsichord, or collaborating with friends for larger projects, Hesperi aims to embody the true spontaneity of chamber music.
