B’Rock Orchestra has the Baroque era at heart. Our intuitive, ambitious and connective approach has made us one of today’s most successful and forward-thinking period orchestras.
With an eye on the world around us and a desire for encounter and exchange, we feel inspired by collaborating with visionary artists. These frontrunners in the world of music, theatre, dance and the visual arts make up our Artistic Family. Together, we research, associate, and create captivating experiences for the ears of a broad audience.
We advance a dialogue with the connoisseur, the curious, and everyone in between. On period instruments, we explore five centuries of music in opera, oratorio and instrumental music. Presenting an excellent performance of a Baroque masterpiece is as important to us as a world première of contemporary music. Our B’Rock Vocal Consort gives us the freedom to expand our repertoire with like-minded singers.
B’Rock Orchestra’s identity is based on a shared artistic vision, collectively shaped by its musicians and management. We develop our ideas within a network of long-term partnerships with leading artists from a wide variety of artistic backgrounds. The members of this Artistic Family share our eagerness to explore and enter into artistic dialogue. They connect with our vision by adding their unique perspectives.
Meet our Artistic Family:
We at B’Rock Orchestra want to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible – while still keeping our identity as an international touring orchestra.
In our sector it is a big challenge to combine artistic vision, market realities and the aim to act environmentally responsible. B’Rock Orchestra is taking on this challenge with measures on multiple levels:
And we want to still get better: by learning from other orchestras and peers and by joining forces with other environmentally conscious cultural institutions to lobby for a more sustainable strategic lay-out of our sector. That is, why B’Rock is proud member of ARVIVA, an association focusing on ecology in the arts.
