Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century:
Critical, curious, inquisitive and progressive
The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is one of the world's leading orchestras for period instruments. The uniqueness of the orchestra is not only in its sound or the way it plays. Since its founding by Frans Brüggen more than forty years ago, musicians have never taken a score for granted. The approach to music and how we present it is critical, curious, inquisitive and progressive.
