Lucie Skeaping presents a profile of the Baroque group Florilegium with their director Ashley Solomon and takes a look at the character and nature of the baroque dance suite.

Florilegium have a reputation as one of this country's most outstanding early music groups. Founded in 1991 by the recorder player and flautist Ashley Solomon, the group specialises in baroque music and they have appeared in some of the most prestigious concert halls around the world.

Lucie joins Ashley Solomon for a look at the group's work and ethos, and together they explore a major form of the baroque era, the dance suite, in preparation for the launch of the 2013 NCEM/Radio 3 Young Composers' Award.

*** Lucie Skeaping appears on 大象传媒 Radio 2's Jools Holland show this coming Monday, 5th November at 23:00.
