1685 was a seminal year in the history of music and marked the birth of three great baroque composers: GF Handel, JS Bach and D Scarlatti.  We created the #EUBO1685 campaign to commemorate the year of their births and to ensure EUBO can carry on their legacy. Find out more at http://eubo.eu/support-us/1685-campaign/

Writing a Biography

Oboists Neven and Miriam perform Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 oboes in d minor RV535 with EUBO under the direction of violinist Margaret Faultless. Ahead of the rehearsals and performances, they took the time to discuss some interesting details about the piece and the role of soloists in a baroque concerto.

During the Orchestral Courses of EUBO Mobile Baroque Academy, we took a moment to chat to director and oboist Alfredo Bernardini about baroque music and the European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO). Hear what Alfredo has to say about his history with EUBO and about performing Bach Cantatas with the young and talented musicians of EUBO and the Barock Vokal project of Hochschule für Musik Mainz.

The European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO) is like no other orchestra: EUBO’s tradition since its foundation in 1985 has been to audition and select new personnel every year. EUBO’s ephemeral existence makes its concerts special: live performances throughout the EU, enjoying all the technical accomplishment of the best young baroque musicians in Europe, allied to an infectious undimmed sense of discovery and enjoyment. EUBO’s touring programme is assisted by sponsorship from The Early Music Shop and the orchestra’s role as a Cultural Ambassador for the European Union is affirmed in perpetuity. Flying the flag for Europe, “EUBO is”, as President José Manuel Barroso says, “a perfect symbol of the power of integration, a subtle and potent instrument of harmonisation between people and nations.”
