Music, unlike art forms that are created via an immutable medium - literature, painting, sculpture, architecture and so on - must be reinvented every time.

We sculpt time.

We believe music of the Romantic era needs some dedicated revisiting: we want to return it to its volatile, unfettered and subjective origins.

In the Ensemble are experienced, expressive and dedicated musicians.  We know a lot about music of the Romantic era, because we love it - and we want to share it with you.  We are soloists, teachers, members of prominent orchestras who, despite - and because of - our “usual” line of work, want to show you what this music is capable of.

Historical instruments and historical performances practices (i.e. instruments and aesthetics of the time and place of the composers) excites us, because it connects both player and listener to the very moments when the music was conceived. 

The past becomes the present.  Pieces of music, created by real people with real lives and emotions, become relevant.  These people are not distant historical figures: they are you, they are us.

In an era of AI, uniformity, predictability and disconnect, we need humans, idiosyncrasy, nuance and genuineness, more than ever before.  We have our our honesty, music and story-telling; with these we want to involve you in making our world a bit better, one concert at a time.
