The orchestra Il Pomo d'Oro was formed last year, a coming together of some of the foremost specialists in authentic performance on period instruments. As this season's Principal Conductor they chose violinist Riccardo Minasi, who has worked as a soloist and leader with many of Europe's leading period ensembles. The orchestra is named after the opera by Antonio Cesti, and they specalise in performing with singers, especially in opera. Sonia Prina is also a baroque and classical specialist, though she first made her name with performances of Rossini - her distinctive contralto voice has been heard in opera houses and concert halls worldwide.
