Ensemble Hesperi

Ensemble Hesperi is a young, innovative, Early Music ensemble based in London. Its core members, Thomas Allery and Mary-Jannet Leith, are dedicated to showcasing the infinite colours and possibilities of their instruments, harpsichord and recorder. They specialise in the performance of lesser known Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, currently focusing on the fascinating stories of musicians who migrated between London, Scotland and Italy during the 18th century.

Ensemble Hesperi strongly believes in bringing Early Music to a wider audience, presenting a variety of programmes to enthusiasts and new listeners alike. Both Mary-Jannet and Thomas seek to discover the freedom of historical music, and to share it with their listeners. The ensemble also makes original use of space and mixed media in programmes, seeking to portray both well-known and unfamiliar music in the context of its history and times.
