Music for the People

is an ensemble, flexible in size, which performs symphonic and chamber music written from 1600 onward

We believe that classical music is for everyone,

and that its depth and beauty can be enjoyed by all, regardless of previous experience and exposure

Music for the People

is a platform to be free and unfettered by dogma, and a new beginning for the classical music experience
