Musica Poetica London was established in 2010 by violinist Dorian Komanoff Bandy and harpsichordist Oliver-John Ruthven. The group was initially conceived to explore the rich, neglected 17th-century trio sonata repertoire, but has expanded rapidly and now performs in a variety of configurations, ranging from violin-harpsichord duo to chamber orchestra, and has met with particular success as the resident baroque orchestra for the Hampstead Garden Opera Company. Vivaldi concertos (6 October), German Baroque Christmas Music (date TBA December 2011), and a fully-staged production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte (10 performances; April 2012).
