The Hanover Band which was founded by Caroline Brown in 1980, has established an international reputation for the excellence of its performances and recordings of 18th and 19th century music. The orchestra’s list of guest directors over previous years reads like a Who’s Who of period instrument interpretation: Monica Huggett, Sir Charles Mackerras, Roy Goodman, Anthony Halstead, Nicholas McGegan, Nicholas Kraemer and Jeffrey Skidmore. Recent highlights include performances of Mozart’s Requiem and Piano Concerto K595 with Nikolai Demidenko in St Bartholomew’s Church, Brighton and St John’s, Smith Square, London, conducted by Paul Brough; Orchestra Live concerts in Cockermouth, Chelmsford and Shrewsbury directed by Adrian Butterfield; and a performance of JS Bach’s St John Passion with Jeffrey Skidmore and Ex Cathedra at Chichester Cathedral.
