The award-winning vibrant, period instrument group.

Bellot Ensemble is a vibrant period instrument group celebrated for energetic performances and a distinctive approach to seventeenth century repertoire. Rooted in historical performance practice, the ensemble blends detailed research with spontaneity, particularly through written divisions and the expressive interpretation of early texts. Their work often brings together instrumental and vocal forces, with regular collaborations involving consorts, choirs, and opera companies.

From October 2025, the group began a two year term as the New Generation Baroque Ensemble, a prestigious development scheme led by BBC Radio 3, the Royal College of Music, and the National Centre for Early Music. Bellot Ensemble has also been selected for the Britten Pears Young Artist Programme 2025 to 2026, taking part in the Chamber Music Residency at Snape Maltings supported by the Keith Coventry Bursary.

Recent and forthcoming highlights include performances at the Oxford Festival of the Arts, new appearances through the NGBE scheme, and a residency in 2026 with Les Arts Florissants’ Odyssée programme.
