From its debut in 2014, Ensemble Molière has gained a reputation as a superb early music ensemble. A distinctive combination of instruments provides memorable and creative programmes from the repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries, all performed on historical instruments. The ensemble was selected as the first-ever Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble, a scheme run in partnership by BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music and the Royal College of Music. They have performed throughout the UK and Europe, including concerts at the Buxton International Festival, Beverley Early Music Festival, Lammermuir Festival, MA Festival Fringe in Bruges and Festival Oude Muziek Fringe in Utrecht. Flavia Hirte (flute), Ellen Bundy (violin), Catriona McDermid (bassoon), Kate Conway (viola da gamba), Satoko Doi-Luck (harpsichord)
