viola (1683), and an unusual small 5-string bass violin (1682). Each instrument has been
restored as closely as possible to its original seventeenth century condition."

performance practice of the Baroque period and to work alongside professionals who
constitute the rest of the orchestra.
- Bath Baroque performs four major concerts each year in the Assembly Rooms, the Guildhall
and the Abbey in Bath. It also has a busy schedule of chamber concerts in venues ranging
from Wells Cathedral and the drawing rooms of stately homes to barns, churches and
marquees. The occasions may be charity fund-raisers, music festivals, weddings,
birthdays... Bath Baroque begins a series of educational concerts in schools, which will
include spoken introductions to the differences between Baroque instruments and their
modern counterparts.
