Drottningholms Barockensemble

Swedish Baroque Music Ensemble

Drottningholms Barockensemble is a Swedish baroque orchestra that specializes in playing music from the 17th and 18th centuries on period instruments. The ensemble was founded in the 1970s and takes its name from the Drottningholm Palace, which is located near Stockholm and is renowned for its Court Theatre, where much baroque music was originally performed. The group has gained a reputation for its authentic performances and has contributed to the revival of interest in baroque music. They have performed widely both in Sweden and internationally, and their repertoire includes works by well-known composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, and Handel, as well as lesser-known baroque masters. The ensemble's recordings have been well-received for their historical accuracy and musicality.
