ONE of Britain’s leading period ensembles will play in South Somerset next month.

The Spiritato baroque ensamble produces unique research-based performance projects, avoiding well-trodden paths wherever possible, and actively seeks to promote forgotten composers and bring their music to a wider audience.

As individuals, they can be found performing with specialist ensembles throughout the UK and Europe, including the Academy of Ancient Music, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Les Talens Lyriques, and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique.

They frequently tour internationally, and their second album on the Resonus Classics label was received critical acclaim from the Financial Times, Early Music Today, Bachtrack, and BBC Music Magazine.

Spiritato will play in Ilminster and Crewkerne in February.

Spiritato are: Kinga Ujszászi, violin and director Magdalena Loth-Hill, violin and viola Joanne Miller, viola Jacob Garside, viola da gamba and violoncello Nicolas Mendoza, organ.
