Founded in 2020 in Brussels, The WIG Society Chamber Music Ensemble is formed by pioneering musicians from across Europe, including Italian flautist Matteo Gemolo and British/Latvian violinist Conor Gricmanis, with the united endeavour to unearth, rediscover, and give life to lesser-known chamber and orchestral works from the age of enlightenment into the romanticism, alongside performing works by famous composers such as Mozart and Haydn. The ensemble performs using period instruments, and looks deeply into historical performance practice to shed light on rhetoric, humour, wit, emotion, and philosophy through the art and science of sound. Instead of establishing new norms and rules, The WIG Society wishes to revive the freshness of arrangements and liberty in choices made back in the late 18th century, in the attempt to achieve a different sort of 'authenticity' for early music which does not lie entirely in its 'letter' but, as they imagine, much more in its 'spirit.'
