Ensemble Hesperi is a dynamic Early Music ensemble of RCM graduates, dedicated to showcasing the infectious charm and dazzling virtuosity of 18th century music through imaginative programming and cross-art form collaboration. In 2019, the ensemble, with dancer Kathleen Gilbert, toured ''The Pheasant''s Eye'', a project celebrating Scottish Baroque music and Highland dance, supported by Arts Council England. Among other successes, they were selected as Britten Pears Young Artists for 2020.
The ensemble can provide its own excellent harpsichord for performances.
