Your petite baroque band & musical treasure hunter
About The Baroque Society
“What if there was a whole world of music that we didn’t yet know? Music for dreaming, music for connecting with each other - from one human to the other”
The Baroque Society is a Copenhagen based baroque band. TBS highlights hidden musical treasures and works by female baroque composers alongside well known baroque classics. The band embraces a fresh approach to historically informed performance practice - sparkling virtuosity, playful improvisation and daring musical concepts. Together with our audience we want to find home to the music - poetry for heart and mind.
