Trinity Baroque is an English group of musicians who focus on the Renaissance and Baroque periods.  Founded at Trinity College, Cambridge, they are formed of a pool of 6-8 singers, sometimes expanding to larger vocal and instrumental forces.  The ensemble has formed close relationships with the music of Heinrich Schütz, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Johann Sebastian Bach, and focus on one-to-a-part performances.  Their programmes usually blend sacred and secular music, and are in a style which often joins the chosen pieces into a semi-theatrical sequence on a particular theme or season. Acqua Vergine is one of several Roman aqueducts that delivers pure drinking water to Rome.  Its name derives from its predecessor "Aqua Virgo", which was constructed by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC.  Its terminal castellum is located at the Baths of Agrippa, and it served the vicinity of Campus Martius through its various conduits.  In an effort to restore fresh water to Rome during the Renaissance, Pope Nicholas V, in 1453, renovated the main channels of the Aqua Virgo and added numerous secondary conduits under Campo Marzio.  The original terminus, called a "mostra", which means "showpiece", was the stately, dignified wall fountain designed by Leon-Battista Alberti in Piazza dei Crociferi.  Due to several additions and modifications to the end-most points of the conduits during the years that followed, during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the Acqua Vergine culminated in several magnificent "mostre" - the Trevi Fountain and the fountains of Piazza del Popolo.
