Instruments of Time and Truth

Instruments of Time and Truth
Continuo Grantee
Instruments of Time and Truth, described on BBC Record Review as 'an absolutely superb band of instrumental soloists', was founded in 2014 by musicians Gabriel Amherst and Judith Evans to provide a platform for international period instrument performers resident in and around Oxford to presenting world-class performances of baroque and classical music in the city and the surrounding region.

Every season we programme an exciting series of self-promoted concerts in the city's historic venues while also being an employable resource for Oxford's thriving musical community, working within the full spectrum of music-making in Oxford: historic concert venues and churches; college or amateur choirs; schools or institutions wanting an education programme.
