Current Season: Concert no.6

Ensemble Augelletti

BBC New Generation Baroque Artists, Ensemble Augelletti specialises in creating engaging programmes that tell the everyday stories of people living in the 17th and 18th centuries through baroque chamber music.

Anna Amalia, Princess of Prussia (1723-1787), was an extraordinary woman who made an enormous contribution to cultural life in 18th Century Berlin. Anna Amalia’s careful curation of 625 scores in an astonishing music library paint the musical portrait of a sophisticated and stylish musician, fascinated with the workings of musical line and texture.

This programme highlights music from her personal library and includes music by Anna Amalia, JS Bach, Handel, and CPE Bach.
