Il Gusto Barocco
il Gusto Barocco is an orchestra specialising in early music and historical performance practice with its headquarters in Stuttgart.[1]
History[]
The Baroque Orchestra was founded in 2008 by Jörg Halubek and is made up of young, freelance musicians. The repertoire focuses on the music of the 17th and 18th centuries and includes all genres from concerto to opera and church music. Depending on the work and genre, the ensemble performs in chamber music instrumentation to large orchestration.[2] The common background of studying at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis shapes the ensemble's approach to early music. Some members are active in teaching and research.[3]
In recent years, the ensemble has attracted attention with musical theatre productions in Stuttgart and at the Nationaltheater Mannheim, among others.[4] Numerous radio recordings were made.
The ensemble is supported by the non-profit association il Gusto Barocco e. V.. The board of trustees is chaired by Member of the German Bundestag Stefan Kaufmann.[5]
