Europa Ritrovata
Brussels
EUROPA RITROVATA is an international collective that breathes new life into 18th century music. Collaborating with contemporary composers, choreographers, and filmmakers, the ensemble seeks to create a new repertoire for period instruments. Founded in 2013, the Brussels-based ensemble has performed at Coudenberg Palace, The Belgian Museum of Freemasonry, and the Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris. Their site-specific, interactive baroque soirées have been described as “spectacular” (Brussels Museum Council) and “unusual” (Le Vif). Their debut album TRILL will feature new commissioned works and remixes by Joachim Brackx, Albert Behar, and Enrico Pigozzi, juxtaposed with music from baroque-era composers.
The roster of Europa Ritrovata features some of the top young Baroque musicians from around the world who have performed at venues including Utrecht Oude Muziek Festival, Concertgebouw Brugge, Bozar in Brussels, De Singel in Antwerp, Venetian Centre for Baroque Music, New Year Festival Gstaad, Grandezza & Meraviglie Modena, Euro Classica Online Festival, Festival de Sablé etc. The musicians also perform in other baroque orchestras such as Collegium Vocale, Scherzi Musicali, Vox Luminis, Les Muffatti, Gli Incogniti, Pygmalion, Silete Venti!, Ensemble Odyssee, Euterpe Baroque Consort and many others. The musicians completed their studies with important teachers including Barthold and Wieland Kuijken, Philippe Pierlot, Frank Theuns, Bart Coen, Peter de Clercq and Frederick Haas. Europa Ritovata intends to bring their reimagined Baroque music to open-minded audiences in Europe and abroad.
