Rachel Podger is Artistic Director of the Brecon Baroque Festival in her residence in Wales, and the orchestra-in-residence, Brecon Baroque, which which has drawn its players from period orchestras across Europa, is presenting itself as a new player in the field: flexible, one player to a part, and with astonishing transparancy and vitality.
The British Viol Consort Fretwork continues its journey combining early music with commissioned works written for the ensemble. One of the highlights of the 2012/13 Season is their collaboration with the Hilliard Ensemble, in a programme combining works by Orlando Gibbons with a new commission from Nico Muhly.
The Paris based Ensemble Clément Janequin will be presenting sacred and secular programmes, including the intensely humorous music from its godfather Clément Janequin and contemporaries.
John Holloway, Lars Ulrik Mortensen and bassoon player Jane Gower will present a programme featuring music by Castello, Fontana, Uccelini, Frescobaldi and Rossi.
... and of course the new season will see many programmes presented by individual artists, including Rachel Podger, Fabio Biondi, Richard Egarr and Jaap ter Linden.
