English Baroque Soloists

The English Baroque Soloists is a British period-instrument chamber orchestra founded by conductor John Eliot Gardiner in 1978. Evolving from the Monteverdi Orchestra, it adopted period instruments in the late 1970s and gave its first concert under its current name at the 1977 Innsbruck Festival of Early Music. The ensemble specializes in Baroque and Classical repertoire and has frequently performed with the Monteverdi Choir. In 1990, Gardiner also established the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique for later-period works. The English Baroque Soloists performed at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla in 2023. Its discography includes period-instrument recordings of Mozart's complete piano concertos with Malcolm Bilson and seven Mozart operas.
