Founded in Cremona in 2004 by Stefano Molardi and Jonathan Guyonnet, the baroque ensemble I Virtuosi delle Muse immediately received international recognition for its inventive and personal use of original instruments and its adherence to historical performance practices.

The ensemble stands out for the rigor and the sensibility of its approach, and performs Italian and German music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with an ensemble that can vary from three to more than forty musicians, depending on the repertoire. The ensemble actively performs throughout Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, The Netherlands, Hungary, and Switzerland.

The Ensemble 18+ chamber orchestra was established in 2009 by Czech conductor and harpsichord player Vojtěch Spurný with the concept of applying the criteria of so-called historically informed performance to an ensemble of modern instruments. However, work with historic sources and knowledge of period performance techniques is simply a basis not the final goal.

IFebiarmonici have changed their name into Salzburg Barock.
With our new name we want to express our affection for our hometown and
her rich musical tradition. The revival of violinistic treasures and the perfor-
mance of sacral music in the liturgy of the christian churches are our concern.
The emphasis of our repertory compasses the time from H.I.F.Biber (1644-
1704) to W.A.Mozart (1756-1791).
