The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is one of the world's premier
chamber orchestras, renowned for its polished and refined sound and
rooted in outstanding musicianship. Formed by Sir Neville Marriner in
1958 from a group of leading London musicians, and working without a
conductor, the Academy gave its first performance in its namesake church
on Nov. 13, 1959. Originally directed by Sir Neville from the leader's
chair, the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original ensemble
remains an Academy hallmark. Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan, currently
serving as the first artist-in-association of the New York
Philharmonic, joins them. Barnatan is celebrated for the unique
approach, probing intellect and consummate artistry he brings to a broad
range of repertoire.
