The Academy of Ancient Music is one of the world’s great orchestras, a household name renowned across the globe for the freshness and vitality of its musicianship. Concerts across six continents and over 250 recordings since its formation by Christopher Hogwood in 1973 demonstrate the AAM’s pre-eminence in music of the Baroque and Classical periods.
The AAM specialises in performing on instruments dating from the time when the music itself was composed. Under Hogwood’s visionary leadership, it established itself as a leading authority on how music was originally performed. This pioneering work had a transformative impact on the world of classical music and lies at the heart of the AAM’s reputation for musical excellence.
“The Academy of Ancient Music is in world-beating form once more.”
