This seven piece chamber group specialises in palm court music and searches through music archives and libraries to find unjustly neglected scores. They try the material out in their summer holidays and present what they have enjoyed playing most at their annual London concert on the May Bank Holiday.  To give you a taste of the music on the programme here is a little film of their rehearsal week on Corsica in 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOmBV2yUx3U
