The group was founded in London by Sir Neville Marriner , and gave its first concert in 1959 . It initially performed at St. Martin's church as a small, Conductorless String group, and played a key role in the revival of Baroque performances in England. It has since expanded to include Winds , but is of flexible size, changing its make-up to suit its repertoire, which ranges from the Baroque to contemporary works. As well as live performances and many recordings, the group has played on a number of Film soundtracks, including that of '' Amadeus '' ( 1984 ) and of Titanic (1997 Film) . The associated Chorus of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields was formed in 1975 . It is regularly heard on European Television singing The Music which introduces coverage of the UEFA Champions League . EXTERNAL LINKS |
