Baroque Extravaganza

​

Directed by the internationally acclaimed harpsichordist and director Bridget Cunningham a world renowned authority on Handel. Music close to their hearts Bridget and the Ensemble have been performing together regularly for the past decade. In this time they have developed deep insights into interpreting the violin concertos of Vivaldi, they have also performed Haydn's double concerto for cembalo and violin and numerous larger scale works including a concert performance of the Handel Opera 'Semele', Bach Christmas and Easter Oratorios, Handel Messiah and Bach Brandenburg Concertos. 

​

Playing for Choral Societies

​

Over the past decade we have regularly appeared with the London Ripieno Choir directed by the talented conductor and composer Geoffrey Hanson. We have performed Handel Messiah, Bach Magnificat, Faure Requiem, Pergolesi and Vivaldi Stabat Mater to name but a few of the choral masterpieces we have accompanied. Our players are experienced in accompanying voices and creating the musical structure for the choir and soloists to shine.

​

Review: ‘Orpheus and his players have on various occasions taken part in London Ripieno Society concerts both accompanying the London Ripieno Singers and playing orchestral works. I have always found them to be responsive and equal to the task.  Orpheus's sunny temperament and professionalism make him a pleasure to work with.’
