Their performances are not only musically impressive but also educational, as they help to preserve and promote early music traditions. The ensemble's commitment to historical authenticity and musical excellence has earned them a respected place in the global early music scene. Their recent releases, such as "Beauty and the Brass" and "Revolution, Music of a Golden Age Vol. II," reflect their ongoing dedication to exploring and celebrating the rich heritage of Baroque music.
