BELESAMA

Belesama

Early Music Ensemble in Scotland

“Belesama presented a highly imaginative programme based on a Baroque Ménagerie, which was extremely well received(…).  Each member of the group is a virtuoso performer, and all had the chance to shine in solos and ensemble pieces by a wide variety of baroque composers.  There was a high level of positive interaction between the musicians, and a real sense of joy and fun in the music-making. They are consummate communicators and a joy to listen to. ”. 

Noel O’Regan,  Chairman, Georgian Concert Society 

Based in Scotland, Belesama create inspired themed programmes, reinventing multi-voice pieces for smaller forces. They have between them a wealth of experience in the worlds of Renaissance, Baroque & Classical repertoire, performing & teaching throughout the UK, Europe & beyond.
Their carefully themed and entertaining programmes explore music from the Mediaeval to the late Baroque.

“Their musicianship is outstanding and their attention to detail is impressive. (...) Their programming is innovative, including both better-know works and little-known pieces that give new and interesting experiences to our audiences. Audiences (…) gain greatly from Belesama’s performances”.
