In 2025 Instruments of Time & Truth celebrate their 10th birthday. This programme will mark another anniversary, the 300th of the founding in 1725 of the Concert Spirituel, an organisation which became the major promoter of concerts in Paris during the 18th century.

Instruments of Time & Truth will perform instrumental and vocal music heard at the Concert Spirituel in the 1770s, by François-Joseph Gossec, Jean-Baptiste Davaux, Jean-Joseph de Mondonville and Amadeus Mozart. They will be joined by the Oxford Consort of Voices, soloists and student singers, under the direction of Edward Higginbottom. Presented in association with The Cultural Programme.
