Perhaps you are looking for something slightly different for your event?


Then the Orfeas Ensemble is perfect for this occasion.   An exciting group, larger than the quartet and with additional tonal forces, can provide thrilling performances of larger works.  Hear the drama of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with the full complement of strings and harpsichord.  Take a journey through Central Europe to music of the Balkans, full of fire, emotion and excitement.  Drift away to the depths of Buenos Aires with Piazzola’s Seasons and traditional tangos - music of passion and pain.


The Orfeas Ensemble has given critically acclaimed performances of its Baroque Extravaganza, and performed Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at St.James Church, Piccadilly, and throughout the South East.

‘Orpheus and his players have on various occasions taken part in London Ripieno Society concerts both accompanying the London Ripieno Singers and playing orchestral works. I have always found them to be responsive and equal to the task.  Orpheus's sunny temperament and professionalism make him a pleasure to work with.’


Geoffrey Hanson Conductor, London Ripieno Society, Artistic Director,
