The group's next Wigmore Hall concert will be on Thursday 24 May 2012, which will be the first of two Wigmore Hall concerts celebratrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Frederick the Great, one of the greatest musical patrons in history. Florilegium’s programme includes works by the King, his flute teacher Quantz, Court harpsichordist CPE Bach and his principal violinists Benda, as well as JS Bach’s trio sonata and ricercars from his Musical Offering, based on a royal theme composed by the King himself.

Florilegium first performed in London’s Wigmore Hall in 1992, the year after the group was founded, and have always been proud to present several concerts there every year.

Between 1998-2000, Florilegium enjoyed two seasons as Ensemble-in-Residence at Wigmore Hall, and have continued that close association with the hall by giving three or four performances there each season.

During 2009 Florilegium gave three all-Haydn concerts, as part of the Wigmore Hall’s Bicentenary series, as well as celebrating the anniversaries of Handel and Purcell in a New Year’s Eve concert with Dame Emma Kirkby.

2011 marks the group’s 20th anniversary; the first concert in the anniversary season was on Thursday 31 March. Florilegium was joined by the soprano Elin Manahan Thomas in works by Vivaldi. Jane Gower (bassoon) and Ashley Solomon were the soloists in Telemann’s Concerto in F for recorder and bassoon in this concert of works by these two composers.

The main 20th anniversary concerts were on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July 2011. These two evening concerts comprised the complete Bach Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites, with other items being performed by guest artists, including Dame Emma Kirkby. The four original members of the group all performed in both concerts; Ashley Solomon (flute/recorder), Neal Peres Da Costa (harpsichord), Daniel Yeadon (cello/viola da gamba) and Rachel Podger, who was the guest Director for the weekend.
