The intimate nature of the Pavilion Theatre made it the ideal venue for this company of two singers and four musicians.
They treated their audience to a ramble through the Baroque period from Pergolesi to Handel via Purcell and Bach.
This ensemble, led on chamber organ by Joseph Cullen, aims to deliver some of the lesser known Baroque works which fall between the solo and choral repertoire.
So, as well as featuring two violins and a cello, the ensemble also includes soprano Amy Carson and mezzo-soprano Polly May.
Both girls are young but both have fine voices which come from experience in opera and oratorio.
Amy is a pure-voiced soprano who can, if you close your eyes, be taken almost as a boy soprano. She has a light, floaty voice which melds beautifully with the slightly brass-tinged voice of Polly May.
Their reading of Purcell was perfectly pitched and bright not least in O Divine Custos, an elegy on the death of Queen Mary, and in the Christ Eleison from Bach's Mass in B Minor.
And again, the mix of organ, two violins and cello made for a pleasing reading of Bach's Trio Sonata No 5 in C.
