The Avison Ensemble is one of England's foremost exponents of classical music on period instruments. It is named after Charles Avison (1709-1770), the Newcastle-born composer, conductor and organist, ‘the most important English concerto composer of the 18th Century’. Comprised of some of Europe's leading musicians and soloists, the Avison Ensemble is directed by the celebrated period instrument violinist Pavlo Beznosiuk.

The Ensemble was formed with the aim of performing, recording and publicising Avison’s works and to bring to public attention the many other neglected British composers of the baroque period, as well as performing the traditional repertoire.
