The Avison Ensemble

**The Avison Ensemble** is a British chamber group celebrated for breathing new life into Baroque masterpieces, particularly works by their namesake, 18th-century Newcastle composer Charles Avison, and his contemporaries like Corelli, Handel, and Vivaldi. Known for their crisp, historically informed performances, they tackle intricate concertos and sonatas with period instruments, reviving the textures and energy of 18th-century music. Their discography showcases a deep love for both iconic composers (check out their vibrant Handel *Op. 6* or Corelli *Op. 5* recordings) and lesser-known gems, like Avison’s own inventive concertos and keyboard works. Whether unearthing regional treasures or redefining Baroque classics, the ensemble blends scholarly care with infectious enthusiasm, making centuries-old music feel fresh and fiery.
