Fanfare magazine has hailed Tempesta di Mare for its “abundant energy, immaculate ensemble, impeccable intonation, and an undeniable sense of purpose.” Led by directors Gwyn Roberts and Richard Stone with concertmaster Emlyn Ngai, Tempesta performs baroque music on baroque instruments with a repertoire that ranges from staged opera to chamber music. The group performs all orchestral repertoire without a conductor, as was the practice when this music was new.
MusicCo provides international media and public relations for Tempesta di Mare, whose 2014-15 season, the ensemble's 13th, encompasses a unique project, Comedie & Tragedie: French baroque orchestral music for the theater, a two-season curatorial focus on French baroque music comprising concerts, recordings, workshops and broadcasts.
