Scottish Baroque Soloists (Baroque Instrumental Ensemble)

Founded: 2003 - Scotland, UK

Scottish Baroque Soloists (= SBS) was formed in 2003, the brainchild of Peter Seivewright and Gillian Leitch, principally to record concerti by J.S. Bach but also to perform lesser-known works by composers such as Galuppi. There are two distinguishing features to the ensemble. As its name suggests, this is a formation of individual string players rather than a conventional orchestra, to give the feeling of soloists performing.
