The Bellot Ensemble - Sunday 14th February 2027 at 3.30pm (The Old Palace)

The Bellot Ensemble is a vibrant period instrument group celebrated for energetic performances and a distinctive approach to 17th-century repertoire. Rooted in historical performance practice, the ensemble blends detailed research with spontaneity, particularly through written divisions and the expressive interpretation of early texts.

Their work often brings together instrumental and vocal forces, with regular collaborations involving consorts, choirs, and opera companies. In October 2025, the group began a two-year term as the BBC New Generation Baroque Ensemble, a prestigious development scheme led by BBC Radio 3, the Royal College of Music and the National Centre for Early Music. The programme supports emerging UK-based Baroque groups through expert coaching, recording and broadcast opportunities, and a regular performance platform.
