CONCERTANTE OF LONDON

Director: Sir Nicholas Jackson

CONCERTANTE OF LONDON is a versatile Baroque Ensemble formed by Nicholas Jackson in 2002 with players and singers chosen from the cream of interpreters of the new generation. They are a flexible ensemble capable of performing works such as Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos and Cantatas, Vivaldi’s Gloria and, Nicholas Jackson’s reconstruction of William Lawes’ Masque ‘The Triumph of Peace’, which they first performed at The Banqueting House, Whitehall in 2004 and again in 2009. Its initial rendering was in the presence of King Charles I in 1634. They have been engaged to appear at The Banqueting House annually since 2004 and will appear for the 7th successive year in 2010.

They have frequently played for the London Chamber Music Society, most recently at London’s newest Concert Hall, King’s Place, at the Handel House Museum, the Garrick Club, at the Holywell Music Room, Oxford, at Bangor University, North Wales and in Menorca.

They frequently perform Nicholas Jackson’s new realisation of Bach’s ‘Musical Offering’ with just four players and in 2009 their CD of this work was released on by SOMM recordings on SOMMCD 077 together with the 1st CD recording of Gustav Leonhardt’s reconstruction of Bach’s unfinished Harpsichord Concerto No 8.
