Elbipolis Barockorchester Hamburg is a German ensemble renowned for its authentic and lively interpretations of baroque and early classical music. Founded in the vibrant and historic city of Hamburg, the orchestra has carved out a niche for itself by focusing on the rich and often underexplored repertoire from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with an emphasis on works connected to their home city and Northern Germany. Elbipolis has distinguished itself through its intellectually curious approach to music-making, using period instruments to achieve a sound that is both faithful to the era of the compositions they perform and fresh to contemporary audiences.

The ensemble's recent discography showcases its versatility and commitment to bringing lesser-known works to light alongside fresh takes on canonical pieces. With releases like "More Bach" and "J.S. Bach: Weihnachtsoratorium (Auszüge)," they pay homage to the enduring genius of Johann Sebastian Bach, while albums such as "Del Signor Hasse - Werke für Flöte" and "Schieferdecker: Musicalische Concerte (Hamburg 1713)" explore the works of composers who were significant in their own time but are less familiar today. Their creative programming is further exemplified by albums like "Symphonies pour les soupers du Roy," which presents a collection of French orchestral pieces, and "Undercover Bach - Orchestral Suites and Concertos," where they offer a fresh perspective on the celebrated German composer's orchestral works. "Don Quixote in Hamburg" is an imaginative project that encapsulates the ensemble's innovative spirit, blending music with the narrative of Cervantes' famous literary character. Elbipolis Barockorchester Hamburg continues to captivate classical music enthusiasts with their engaging performances and their dedication to exploring the depths of baroque heritage.
