Flauguissimo was founded by flautist Yu-Wei Hu and guitarist/theorbo-player Johan Löfving whilst studying at the Royal College of Music in London. Their imaginative programmes have dazzled audiences across the UK, and their keen interest in both early and contemporary music has made them sought-after teachers at universities and music colleges. Recent venues include Kings Place, Cadogan Hall, St. John’s Smith Square, Sage Gateshead and St George’s Bristol. Flauguissimo frequently expand their ensemble in collaboration with other artists as part of their vision to deliver relevant, inspiring performances of historical repertoires. In 2019 their debut album ‘A Salon Opera’ was released under Resonus Classics to great critical acclaim.
