They have performed Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1,2,3,4 and 5, all four Orchestral Suites, Keyboard Concertos in D Minor, E Major, A Major, F Minor, D Major, G Minor, the Double Keyboard Concerto in C, the two Triple Keyboard Concertos in C and D Minor and the Solo Cantatas Ich habe genug (BWV82&82a), Widerstehe doch der Sünde, Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke and Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut.

The group has given very well attended, successful performances for over ten years at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at Canongate Kirk. Repertoire has included: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, notable for its use of a different soloist for each season, the complete L'Estro Armonico Op.3 1-12 and recently Handel Concerti Grossi Op.6 Nos. 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,11&12 and Op.3 No.1,2,3&4 and a chamber reduction Mozart Piano Concerto No.22 in Eb. In addition to this, works by Corelli, Handel, Mozart, Purcell, Rameau, Vivaldi and Warlock have been performed. They recently gave a concert with the Edinburgh Bach Choir .
