About Consort of Twelve

The Consort of Twelve, founded in 1982, is one of the leading Baroque ensembles in the South of England and has hosted more than 200 concerts in the Chichester area and further afield. It specialises in eighteenth-century repertoire, playing music on original instruments by the best known figures of the period, such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, but also searching out little-known composers and giving previously-unheard music a chance to come to life. The Consort works with some of the most distinguished Baroque specialists of the day, including Kati Debretzeni, Catherine Mackintosh, Catherine Martin and Elizabeth Wallfisch.
