REVIEWS “New Trinity Baroque plays superbly... all Antonio Vivaldi, one of the greatest Venetian composers who wrote many concertos for strings, and he must have had a group like this in mind when he put all those mountains of notes on paper... An hour of exuberant music played to a fair-thee-well by a group of musicians who obviously know what they’re about.” Charleston Post & Courier ”... highly impressive and technically immaculate interpretation... New Trinity Baroque share their theatrical and gestural approach of Vivaldi’s music with Italian baroque orchestras... I was especially struck by the warm and pleasant sound of the ensemble, and the high technical standard. The treatment of dynamics and tempo and the clear exposition of the rhythmic pulse are some of the features of these performances which I particularly appreciate, and which I so often sorely miss in recordings.” Musica-Dei-Donum.org OVERVIEW Hailed by the critics as “Atlanta’s most adventurous early music ensemble” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), NEW TRINITY BAROQUE is recognized as one of the leading period instrument ensembles in the USA. Founded by Predrag Gosta in London in 1998, and based in Atlanta, New Trinity Baroque works closely with established American and international artists - past solo artists have included British soprano Evelyn Tubb, Dutch recorder virtuoso Marion Verbruggen, British baroque violinist John Holloway, and others.
