"Rooted in historical accuracy ... full of musical passion ... fresh, fascinating performances...Egarr gave a thrilling reading of the first movement's notorious harpsichord solo (Bach)."  – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

One of the world's foremost period instrument orchestras, the Academy of Ancient Music has remained at the helm of the authentic performance movement for over thirty years. Under the direction of harpsichordist Richard Egarr since 2005, the Academy of Ancient Music continues to bring its audiences historically accurate and compelling performances.

"Nothing was taken for granted. Every turn of phrase was treated as if the ink were still wet on the page ... Egarr was a marvel throughout."  –  Chicago Tribune
