由英國馬利納爵士一手創造的聖馬丁學院樂團,是當今最出名的英國樂團。除了在馬利納爵士的帶領下,以簡潔快的風格,華美珠玉般的音色帶給全世界優雅的聽覺享受,並與許多優秀的古典音樂演奏家、聲樂家合作,且留下許多極為著明的錄音。更因為曾替許多電影如「阿瑪迪斯」、「遠離非洲」、「英倫情人」等奧斯卡名片配樂擔任演奏,使得該團聲名大噪,而其錄音作品的數量甚至讓卡拉揚望其項背。之後該樂團各絃樂部的首席,又於1972年又另外成立了「聖馬丁學院樂團與八重奏」,是一個專門以演奏室內樂為主,意圖呈現室內樂細緻優美、靈活鮮明的均衡特色的室內樂團。也曾來台演出過多首曲目,獲得樂迷的歡迎。

The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields was formed in 1959 by a group of eleven enthusiastic musicians with the aim of performing in public without a conductor. Their first three recordings led to a succession of long-term contracts, and the Academy quickly took their place among the most recorded ensembles in history. As the repertoire expanded from Baroque to Mozart, Bartok and Beethoven, so it became necessary for the principal violin, Neville Marriner, to conduct the larger orchestra.

The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble was created in 1967 to perform the larger chamber works—from quintets to octets—with players who customarily work together, instead of the usual string quartet with additional guests. Drawn from the principal players of the orchestra, the Chamber Ensemble tours as a string octet, string sextet, and in other configurations including winds. Its touring commitments are extensive, with annual visits to France, Germany, and Spain, and frequent tours to North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan.

The Ensemble's fall 2007 North American tour brings them to 10 cities, including (among others) New York, Chicago, Los Alamos, and Cedar Falls, IA.

Contracts with Philips Classics, Hyperion, and Chandos have led to the release of over thirty CDs by the Chamber Ensemble.
