‘Baroque’ is the first album Nicola Benedetti has released on a period set-up including gut strings, and she is joined by a leading group of freelance baroque musicians, forming the Benedetti Baroque Orchestra for the very first time.

The album features a selection of concerti by Vivaldi plus Geminiani’s arrangement of Corelli’s ‘La Folia’, one of the oldest western classical themes which has been arranged by many composers over time, particularly in the baroque era.

Audiences will also be able to enjoy a series of live concerts featuring the music from Benedetti’s new album at Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall from 18 - 21 July, the same venue ‘Baroque’ was recorded in.
