History
The group was founded in 1991, and gave its first performance at the Blackheath Concert Halls in that year.[3] It has since performed at the Wigmore Hall in London, and in many countries worldwide. A recording of the cello sonatas of Antonio Vivaldi with Pieter Wispelwey as soloist won an award, as did a recording of the chamber music of Georg Philipp Telemann.[3]
