Academy of Ancient Music toured to Asia in June 2013 visiting Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing & Tianjin for six performances.
Working with Korean soprano Sunhae Im for concerts in Seoul Arts Center and British soprano Elin Manahan Thomas for concerts in Hong Kong and Shanghai, the group performed various programmes including works by Corelli, Mozart and Haydn.
Led from the violin by Pavlo Beznosiuk, the orchestra performed a Four Seasons programme of Vivaldi violin concertos interwoven with Handel, Purcell and Vivaldi arias sung by Sunhae Im. Following the seasons from Spring, through Summer, Autumn and Winter, each Aria is related to the season concerto which it is performed alongside.
The group closed the first Tianjin International Chamber Music Festival on at the Tianjin Grand Theatre.
