The Orchestra Of The Age of Enlightenment, was formed in England as a self-governing ensemble in 1986, and took its name from the historical period in the late 18th century where the core of its repertoire is based. The OAE does not have a principal conductor, but chooses conductors individually. Having no permanent music director gives the orchestra flexibility to work with some of the world’s greatest conductors and soloists across a wide range of music. The period instrument ,original pitch performance is undoubtedly, one of the best I have heard anywhere on record or live!
