"It is very important to maintain the core that makes up Ministers, first because of the sound work, really precise and very detailed, that we want to carry out, but also because of the idea of a collective, of doing something all together, with the shared direction."

After completing our studies and beginning individual careers at various musical institutions in Europe and the Americas, our paths met in Barcelona, where we arrived to deepen our study of Baroque music and historical instruments. From this encounter and from the shared desire to create our own space for experimentation and creation, The Ministers of Pastime was born.

 

Alongside our training at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, the A. Scarlatti Conservatory of Palermo and the Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes, the members of the group have collaborated with some of the most prominent contemporary ensembles in the field of early music, such as Le Concert des Nations, Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, Academia Montis Regalis, Cappella Mediterranea, Ensemble Pulcinella, European Union Baroque Orchestra, La Real Cámara and Orchestre des Champs-Elyesées.

 

Committed from the outset to the idea of a collective, we draw on our different backgrounds, our diverse origins and the musical connections that unite us in order to develop projects together seeking to combine the highest quality with rigorous musicological research.
