Florilegium is internationally recognized as one of Britain’s most distinguished period-instrument ensembles, celebrated for its vibrant, stylish, and historically informed performances. Since its founding in 1991, the group has captivated audiences worldwide with interpretations that combine scholarly insight with expressive artistry. Their repertoire spans from intimate chamber music to grand orchestral and choral works, performed both as a dedicated instrumental ensemble and in collaboration with exceptional vocal soloists and leading choirs. Florilegium’s reputation has been built on appearances at many of the world’s most prestigious concert halls including performances at the Sydney Opera House, Singapore’s Esplanade, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Konzerthaus and the Frick Collection in New York.
