K’antu Ensemble

Ruth Hopkins founded  K'antu Ensemble in 2012 to explore the less-trodden territories of early music.

They perform extensively across the UK and have toured Germany, Egypt, Romania and Hungary. They have been invited to broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 from the Southbank Centre and from Broadcasting House and they have represented the UK at Göttingen International Handel Festival’s Historische Reihe.
