- Short Description
- "The Academy of Ancient Music (AAM) is a British period-instrument orchestra based in Cambridge, England. Founded by harpsichordist Christopher Hogwood in 1973, it was named after an 18th-century organisation of the same name (originally the Academy of Vocal Music). The musicians play on either original instruments from the period when the music was composed or modern copies of such instruments. They generally play Baroque and Classical music, though they have also played some new compositions for baroque orchestra in recent years.
The AAM's current Music Director is Richard Egarr, scheduled to hold the post through the 2020–2021 season." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
