Rameau Ensemble Biog
The Rameau Ensemble promotes and performs the music of French Baroque composer Jean-Philippe Rameau and his contemporaries, bringing awareness and engagement to this visionary music after its neglect over the last few centuries. Led by academic research, the Ensemble aims to be the UK’s leading organisation for historically informed performance, presenting bold, modern premieres of Rameau’s operas to new audiences in imaginative ways.

Comprised of musicians from around the world, the Rameau Ensemble has performed on BBC Radio 3, at A Curious Invitation parties, at major London venues and beyond. In addition to its performances, the Ensemble is also committed to cultivating the next generation of French Baroque musicians through its annual International Rameau Summer School with the foremost experts in the field, such as Christophe Rousset and Christian Curnyn.
