Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra

The Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, founded in the early 1990s, is renowned for its authentic and dynamic performances of seventeenth and eighteenth-century music. Under the artistic leadership of conductor and baroque flautist Barthold Kuijken since 1993, the ensemble has been dedicated to playing on period instruments or modern replicas, thus providing audiences with a historical sound experience. With a repertoire that spans a wide range of baroque music, the orchestra often highlights lesser-known composers and pieces alongside the familiar works of that period.

Their recent releases underscore the ensemble's commitment to exploring the variegated landscape of baroque music. "The Colorful Telemann" is a celebration of Georg Philipp Telemann's vibrant and innovative compositions, showcasing his ability to merge various national styles. "The Grand Mogul: Virtuosic Baroque Flute Concertos" features dazzling works that allow the baroque flute to shine, reaffirming Kuijken's mastery. "The Versailles Revolution" is an aural exploration of the shift in musical styles and tastes prompted by the composers associated with the court of Versailles. With "The Lully Effect," the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra pays homage to the influence of Jean-Baptiste Lully, whose work helped establish the French baroque style. Through their meticulous research and impassioned performances, the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra continues to be a dynamic force in the realm of period music.
