Bellot Ensemble
The Bellot Ensemble is a vibrant period instrument group celebrated for energetic performances and a distinctive approach to 17th-century repertoire. Rooted in historical performance practice, the ensemble blends detailed research with spontaneity, particularly through written divisions and the expressive interpretation of early texts.
Their work often brings together instrumental and vocal forces, with regular collaborations involving consorts, choirs, and opera companies. In October 2025, the group began a two-year term as the BBC New Generation Baroque Ensemble, a prestigious development scheme led by BBC Radio 3, the Royal College of Music and the National Centre for Early Music. The programme supports emerging UK-based Baroque groups through expert coaching, recording and broadcast opportunities, and a regular performance platform.
Bellot Ensemble was also selected for the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme 2025-26, where they took part in the Chamber Music Residency at Snape Maltings supported by the Keith Coventry Bursary. They were also part of the Brighton Early Music Festival Live Scheme 2023-24 and maintain close ties with choral and opera groups across the UK. In 2024 they toured John Frederick Lampe’s The Dragon of Wantley with New Sussex Opera conducted by Toby Purser and appeared as Featured Artists at the Overstrand Early Music Festival in a semi-staged Dido and Aeneas with Norwich Baroque. They were also recipients of the Philip and Dorothy Green Young Artist Award for 2024-25.
