PROFILE Earls Court Baroque (ECB) is an ensemble dedicated to the historically-informed exploration of repertoire from the Baroque era, with a particular emphasis on early eighteenth-century English staged works and their Continental influences. The group was formed in 2007 by ak Ozmo in order to bring to the public both forgotten and well-loved masterpieces. The majority of ECBs concert programmes are based on original research, and the music is performed from new, custom-made scholarly editions. This exciting ensemble, which on occasion expands into a full-size Baroque orchestra and regularly works with singers and other guest artists, consists of some of the best young musicians from the professional London early music circle. Earls Court Baroque is currently an ensemble in residence at the Earl's Court Festival in London.

Levin, soprano When I think of a word to replace that of music, I can think only of Venice. Nietzsche In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, music from Venice inspired and delighted the whole of Europe. Venetian-style masquerade balls, especially, were all the rage in Count Heideggers eighteenth-century high society London. This concert will include entertaining, imaginative, and uncommonly beautiful works by Venetian masters Vivaldi, Marini, Uccelini, and Castello, as well as forgotten English works associated with the fashion for Venice in 18th-century London.
