JANICULUM was founded by Jane Clark primarily to perform the unpublished music she had found in her research on The Grand Tour. It takes its name from the hill in Rome.

The National Trust used the phrase 'Bringing History alive through Music' to describe Janiculum's work. The group specialises in events and recordings that put the music in a particular background and finding strictly relevant music. This entails reviving 18th century manuscripts and editions since so much of what was popular in the 18th century is now forgotten. All instruments used are 18th century originals or modern copies.

Janiculum's festival appearances including Ayrshire, Brighton, Cambridge, Finchcocks, Gower, Norwich, Sevenoaks, Little Venice (Mozart's Models 2006), Palermo & Guildford at Hatchlands Park (Mozart's Models 2006). Concerts in association with art exhibitions include Kenwood, The British Museum & the Royal Academy of Arts. Concert societies include Forde Abbey & Luton Music Club. Janiculum has also given a major fund-raising concert for The National Art Collections Fund. Recently the group has been giving concerts for the British Museum in The Enlightenment Galleries. Concerts for historical conferences include Exile & the English Revolution in 2006 & the Jacobite Studies conference in July 2007.
