At this special recital in the beautiful setting of the Picture Gallery at the Foundling Museum, Arcangelo Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen will introduce the five members of Arcangelo’s 2024-26 New Ensemblists programme: violinists Leo Appel (UK) and Carmen Lavada Johnson-Pájaro (USA), violist Jaume Pueyo Solà (ES), cellist Martin Egidi (CH) and bassoonist Francisco Javier Sánchez Castillo (ES).

Created in 2020, the Arcangelo New Ensemblists programme has so far offered breakthrough career support to 11 young musicians specialised in period performance at the crucial transition point between conservatoire and the profession.

For their first public appearance together in the UK as a standalone ensemble, these exciting emerging instrumentalists will present a programme of ‘chamber delights’ featuring music from Handel and his contemporaries.
