The acclaimed early chamber music group ARIOSO was  
    formed in 1992 in response to the remarkable growth of
    interest in music of the baroque to provide period
    performance across the Midlands and North of England,
    outside the area generally covered by similar groups
    mostly based in London and the South East.

    ARIOSO has performed in many venues ranging from
    grand country houses, through historic buildings and
    modern concert venues to local community centres and
    village halls. Concert engagements have included
    numerous concert promoting societies, the Early Music
    Network, local authority concert series and international
    and local Early Music Festivals as well as special
    performances for many other organisations including the
    National Trust, UNICEF and Amnesty International.
