Recognised for ‘whipping up a storm with Vivaldi’, La Serenissima is ‘one of Britain’s best-loved chamber orchestras’ (The Telegraph) known for championing a host of neglected Italian baroque composers and its outstanding performances.
Uniquely, the group’s entire repertoire is edited from source material by founder and violinist, Adrian Chandler OSI. La Serenissima plays to a global audience of millions, evidenced by 1.3m monthly listeners on Spotify alone and regularly features on international radio (BBC Radio 3, Radio:24, Sveriges Radio), advertising (Beats, 2022) and film (Portrait of a Lady on Fire, 2020).
La Serenissima albums have topped the UK Classical Chart (2018) and won two Gramophone Awards (2010 & 2017).
La Serenissima has performed throughout the UK and internationally in concert series and festivals including London Festival of Baroque Music, MustonenFest (Estonia), Handel-Festspiele (Germany), Valletta International Baroque Festival (Malta) and International Cervantes Festival (Mexico). The group celebrates its 30th Anniversary at London’s Wigmore Hall during 2024-5 with a Residency ‘The A-Z of the Italian Baroque’ and is proud to have as its Honorary Patron, His Excellency The Ambassador of Italy to the UK.
