L’Avventura London, under the visionary direction of conductor, music director, and early plucked-instrument specialist Žak Ozmo, brings centuries-old music vividly into the present. With bold artistry and a cosmopolitan spirit, the ensemble reimagines the sound world of the 16th to 19th centuries – revealing its enduring power to move, inspire, and connect across cultures.

Every L’Avventura performance is an immersive journey through time and sound. Uniting brilliant musicianship with historical insight and global imagination, the ensemble uncovers forgotten masterpieces, revives lost voices, and celebrates the universal human stories that echo through music’s past and present.

Since its founding in 2010, L’Avventura has become known for electrifying performances that captivate audiences across the UK and beyond. Appearances at leading festivals – including the York Early Music Festival, Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, Brighton Early Music Festival, and Cheltenham Music Festival—have been matched by performances at world-renowned venues such as the Kölner Philharmonie (Cologne), Grande Auditório Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon), and The Queen’s Hall (Edinburgh).

L’Avventura’s reach extends far beyond the concert hall. Its performances and recordings have been broadcast internationally on BBC Radio 3, NPR, CBC, ABC Classic FM, KulturRadio, MDR Figaro, ORF Radio Ö1, Radio Klara, Catalunya Radio, and Classic FM Russia, sharing its distinctively rich, expressive sound with audiences around the world. Critics have described the ensemble as “engaging, entertaining… an enormous amount of atmosphere and character” (Opera News), with Gramophone praising its “excellent musicianship” and “admirable understanding of Baroque performance conventions.”

Guided by Žak Ozmo’s pioneering research, many of L’Avventura’s programmes feature modern premieres of rediscovered works and collaborations with luminaries such as Dame Emma Kirkby and Michael Chance. Whether performing as an intimate chamber ensemble or a full orchestra—and through acclaimed recordings on Hyperion and Opella Nova Records – L’Avventura London carries forward the very vision that inspired the founders of the early-music movement: to make the music of the past vibrantly alive, inclusive, and profoundly human.
