LINDEN BAROQUE ORCHESTRA CHOIR & SOLOISTS  

Linden Baroque Orchestra was formed in 1982 by a group of early music enthusiasts in the front room of a house in Linden Gardens, Chiswick. Unusually for a period instrument orchestra (and uniquely anywhere at that time) it brings together young professonals, talented dilitantes and music students many of whom have later moved on to prominent careers in the early music field. Paul Goodwin, the well-known baroque oboist and conductor, was musical director until Walter Reiter took over in 1996. The orchestra has played at venues from Norfolk to Rome (where it gave the first performances there of Purcell's King Arthur) and has a wide-ranging repertoire ranging from the familiar to the unheard. Many concerts are given with the Linden Baroque Choir, formed in 1993 to combine with the orchestra in an appropriate style. Together they gave first complete performances in this country of music by Jean Gilles.

Linden Baroque is a Member of The National Federation of Music Societies and is a Registered Charity No. 1014921.
