This ensemble is an early-music group founded by the conductor, Richard Hickox, and the violinist, Simon Standage, in 1990.
It was jointly led by Richard Hickox and by the solo violinist Simon Standage until Richard’s death in 2008. Simon Standage has gained renown for his recordings of Telemann.
The group has appeared in many music festivals as well as on radio broadcasts and released many successful recordings including Handel at the Opera, Handel and the Oratorio for Concerts, Music from the Court of Frederick the Great and Albinoni: Oboe Concertos. The ensemble’s recording of Dido and Aeneas was used for the TV production of the opera which was shown as part of the BBC’s commemoration of Purcell.
