Os Músicos Do Tejo

Portuguese Baroque Ensemble

Os Músicos do Tejo is a Portuguese baroque ensemble that specializes in the performance of 17th and 18th-century music. The group was founded by harpsichordist Marcos Magalhães and oboist Marta Araújo, who both serve as its artistic directors. They aim to rediscover and bring to life the rich musical heritage of the baroque period, often focusing on Portuguese works as well as international compositions. The ensemble is known for its historically informed performances, which means they strive to play music in a style that is as close as possible to how it would have been performed at the time it was written. This involves using period instruments and techniques. Os Músicos do Tejo has gained recognition for their engaging interpretations and have contributed to the increasing appreciation of baroque music in Portugal and abroad.
