FIGO Ensemble
Described by The Telegraph as having “pleasing grace”, FIGO is an emerging chamber group specialising in historically informed performance. FIGO uses either original or replica period instruments and their interpretation is shaped by 17th and 18th century performance practice and ideals.
The group formed in 2017 having met as Scholars at the Royal Academy of Music. They have since enjoyed various engagements ranging from chamber recitals to larger works such as The Monteverdi Vespers, Bach’s B minor Mass and Haydn’s Nelson Mass.
If you’ve never seen a theorbo played, this is your chance! Click here to hear and see FIGO’s wonderfully atmospheric performance of a sonata by William Boyce.
Their lunchtime concert features baroque music from Bohemia, including works by the great early violinist composers Schmelzer and Biber.
