Ensemble Augeletti at Bridport Arts Centre

Bridport Arts Centre

A programme of baroque chamber music including work by J.S. Bach and Telemann.

Ensemble Augelletti specialises in creating engaging programmes that tell the everyday stories of people living in the 17th and 18th centuries through baroque chamber music. They are known for compelling performances that demonstrate an “equal capacity for elegant pathos and rip-roaring technical dexterity” (The Arts Desk, 2024) and have been praised for “a profound understanding of their innovative repertoire.” (Charles Hutch Press, 2024).

Founded in 2019, Ensemble Augelletti were New Generation Baroque Ensemble in partnership with BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music, and the Royal College of Music (2023-5) and City Music Foundation Artists (2024-5).

Describing Bach’s students as ‘jewels that brightly burn’, Telemann championed Bach’s skill in arranging music to inspire a new generation of musicians as they performed ‘under the orange tree’ in Leipzig. This programme tells the story of Bach’s students as they became ‘jewels’ and includes arrangements of his joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann’s stunning ‘Paris’ quartets and suites by Pisendel.
