Among their engagements, the original chamber orchestra completed acclaimed tours of Southern Africa 1956, and again in 1967, with a few replacement performers[2]
In the 1970s, I Musici recorded the first classical music video and, later, the group was the first to record a compact disc for the Philips label.[1]
One of their founding members and first violin, Felix Ayo, is still an active violinist as of 2017.
Instrumentation
I Musici consists of a group of string instruments and one harpsichord. The strings include six violins, two violas, two cellos, and one double bass.
Members
I Musici is a conductorless ensemble; the relationships among the twelve musicians enable great harmony in their music-making.
