Balthasar Neumann Orchestra

The Balthasar Neumann Orchestra is distinguished by the courage to discover, outstanding musical quality and for its pure joy in playing, to name but a few of its many countless qualities. Formed in Freiburg in 1995 by Thomas Hengelbrock, it is one of the world’s leading historically informed orchestras due to its reputation for continually presenting new perspectives on music, energetic interpretations full of conviction and for its ability to think beyond pigeonholes and boundaries. These internationally revered musicians are united by their desire to: grasp compositions as profoundly as possible on all levels and to clarify their relevance for our times; put themselves at the service of music and to be as authentic as possible, both on and off the stage.

Anything but boring and conventional, the Balthasar Neumann Orchestra is renowned for its kaleidoscopic performances full of risk-taking and passion. To ensure that these values are carried forward into the future, the Balthasar Neumann ensembles train their own young musicians in various academy programmes and share their musical knowledge and enthusiasm with the next generation along with their audiences.
