The Purcell Orchestra was founded in 1982 to give one of the very first performances of Purcell’s King Arthur on period instruments, in a project devised by Robin Page and Richard Wistreich. The concert took place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, with a group of handpicked singers including Evelyn Tubb and Emily van Evera.
Since then, the orchestra has accompanied numerous choral events, performing many major works of the baroque repertoire, including JS Bach B Minor Mass, St Matthew & St John Passions, Magnificat and Christmas Oratorio; CPE Bach Magnificat; Telemann Tageszeiten; Handel Coronation Anthems, Messiah & Dixit Dominus.
Since 2005, the Purcell Orchestra has given annual performances of Handel’s Messiah at Christmas and Bach’s St John Passion on Palm Sunday at the Church of St Mary Abbots, Kensington.
