St. James' Baroque was started by Ivor Bolton in 1984. It's one of the UK's leading period instrument ensembles; appeared at every year of the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, and also many other festivals - including four visits to the Proms.
Ivor Bolton made several recordings with St. James's Baroque. James O'Donnell succeeded Ivor as Music Director in 2005.
St. James' Baroque pays close attention to recent historical research, particularly stringing and the
set up of period instruments (or modern copies of old instruments).
For many years, we have had a wonderful association with two celebrated choirs, the Choir of Westminster Abbey and the Schola Cantorum of Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School.
