In 1959, 11 enthusiastic musicians formed The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, a remarkable orchestra that now boasts well over 500 albums, making it the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble was created in 1967 to perform larger chamber works. Drawn from the principal players of the orchestra, the Ensemble receives accolades everywhere it tours, such as a recent New York Times review, calling theirs “a bristling performance.”
