EXPLORING - CREATING - SHARING

Their distinctive sound, the fresh approach to baroque music on original instruments inviting audiences to go on thought-provoking journeys, the creative use of historically informed performance, thorough research, and highly inventive programming have earned them a large international fan base, not only in the Early Music scene. The award-winning discography consisting mainly of world premiere recordings bears testimony to the adventurous spirit of the ensemble's members. Read more...

New album
Sonate a quattro
After many years of exploring the inexhaustible repertoire of the Trio Sonata we add a viola for our new programme in order to shine light on a neglected genre, the ‘Sonata a quattro’. Owing to its appearance shortly before the emergence of the string quartet, the ‘Sonata a quattro’ was largely disregarded, yet occupied an important intermediary role between the baroque and the early classical era. Discover some of the most fascinating and complex Baroque chamber music by Handel, Goldberg, Fasch, Telemann and Janitsch!
New season
We are looking forward to performing in many prestigious venues this season. We will give our debut concerts at Brucknerhaus Linz, at the Luxemburg Philharmonie, Seoul Arts Center, Schlossfestspiele Brühl and at Mozartfest Würzburg. On 25 December we are back at the Cologne Philharmonie for an exciting Christmas concert and we will take our Musical Offering to Spain for the first time in March. We are happy to continue our residency at the Euregio Cultural Centre "Gustav Mahler" in Toblach and at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles and will be back at some of our favourite venues such as Opéra de Lille and Festival du Périgord Noir. June 2023 will see us take up residency at the Cork Chamber Music Festival. A packed season indeed!
