Rosafresca
Creating rich textures and sonorities on period instruments, Rosafresca captures the excitement and spontaneity at the heart of Renaissance music - whether Elizabethan love song or rhythmic Spanish dance. The core of the group is Carol Attwood on recorders and percussion, Heather Gibbard playing viol and Steve Walter on vihuela. We frequently work with singers and other instrumentalists on an ad hoc basis, in particular soprano, Hayley Guest.

Baroque and Beyond
As well as exploring the European art music of the Baroque heavyweights - Bach, Handel, Telemann and Purcell, Baroque and Beyond step beyond the mainstream, encountering intriguing material by lesser know composers whilst connecting with music from earlier and later times.

Mosaic Five
An exciting new ensemble, Mosaic Five specialise in original and arranged music of the twentieth and twenty first centuries. Featuring classical guitar along with pairs of bowed strings and woodwinds, an extensive palette of colours is explored and showcased in a range of imaginative programmes.

CrumScrum
Shamelessly enthusiastic, CrumScrum revel in the challenge of the eccentric J-shaped crumhorn - probably the most distinctive of wind sound of the Renaissance. CrumScrum deliver a genuine blast from the past and an unusual soundscape for new commissions.
