Ensemble Augelletti Jewels That Brightly Burn

The critically acclaimed Ensemble Augelletti play beautifully curated programmes that tell the everyday stories of people living in the 17th and 18th centuries through baroque chamber music. They were founded in 2019, and regularly perform on BBC Radio 3's In Tune and festivals across the UK. Describing Bach's students as 'jewels that brightly burn', Telemann championed Bach's skill in arranging music to inspire a new generation of musicians as they performed 'under the orange tree' in Leipzig. Through their letters and memoirs, this beautiful programme tells the story of Bach's students as they became 'jewels'. The programme includes arrangements of Bach's joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann's stunning 'Paris' quartets and sonatas dances by Pisendel, Fasch and Torelli.
