The Academy of St Martin in the Fields was formed in 1958 and only two years later it had secured its first recording contract, the beginning of a discography that now boasts well over 500 entries, making the Academy the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. Thanks to this huge recorded catalogue and widespread radio coverage, the Academy’s name has become familiar to audiences across the globe.
The orchestra maintains a busy schedule of international touring and in the 2007/8 season will perform in Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Russia and the USA.
