Barockorchester Frankfurt

German Baroque Orchestra

The Barockorchester Frankfurt, also known as the Frankfurt Baroque Orchestra, is a period instrument ensemble that specializes in performing music from the Baroque era. The orchestra was founded with the intention of recreating the sounds and styles of music as they would have been heard in the 17th and 18th centuries. They often collaborate with choirs and vocal soloists to perform large-scale works such as oratorios and operas. The ensemble is known for its historically informed performances, which means they use research and scholarship to inform their playing techniques, choice of instruments, and interpretation of the music.
