From the Archives
An enquiry about the foundation of Leeds Baroque sent us back to find images of our early performances - and there are very few.
However we did find this (then non-digital) image taken at the National Centre for Early Music in July 2002. Note the historically informed sepia tint!
If you would like to add to our photo archive and have images of our performance and would like to share them (particularly from early years) please contact the Administrator
