La Nuova Musica live in London

Experience La Nuova Musica live on November 28th

La Nuova Musica is a British period instrument ensemble specialising in 17th and 18th-century music, with a particular focus on Italian repertoire. The group is known for its vibrant and expressive performances, informed by historical research into performance practice of the Baroque and Classical eras. They aim to recreate the sound world contemporary to the composers they interpret, utilizing instruments built or modelled after those prevalent during the relevant periods. Their programming frequently features lesser-known works alongside established masterpieces.

Wigmore Hall, located in central London, holds a distinguished position within the international classical music landscape. Opened in 1901, it was commissioned by Charles Jennens, a wealthy Birmingham merchant and music patron, specifically as a small-scale concert hall to improve acoustics for intimate performances – a response to the large capacities of halls like the Royal Albert Hall. Unlike many other prominent venues, Wigmore Hall has remained dedicated solely to chamber music and song recitals throughout its history. It’s renowned for its exceptional acoustics and has hosted performances by virtually every major classical musician since its inception. The hall is not affiliated with any single orchestra or organisation, fostering an independent artistic programming policy.
