THE BAROQUE SOCIETY
Your petite baroque band & musical treasure hunter
TBS = 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”
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.
Our core:
Yngvild Haaland Ruud (harpsichord & other keyboards + ensemble direction)
Jesenka Balic Zunic (violin, viola, viola d’amore & viola da spalla)
Adam Grauman (viola da gamba & violone)
Fredrik Bock/Daniel Seminara (lutes)
Christina Herresthal (mezzo)
