Goldberg Baroque Ensemble

The Goldberg Baroque Ensemble is a lively Polish group hailing from Gdańsk, founded in 2008 by organist and conductor Andrzej Mikołaj Szadejko. They're all about digging up and performing hidden gems from the Baroque era, especially music tied to the Baltic region and Gdańsk's rich musical history. With a focus on authenticity, they use period instruments to bring to life works by lesser-known composers like Johann Gottlieb Goldberg (yep, the one with the famous variations named after him by Bach), as well as folks like Freislich, Pucklitz, and Du Grain. Their recordings, often part of the "Musica Baltica" series, have helped revive forgotten cantatas, concertos, and oratorios, making them a go-to for fans of early music with a regional twist.

Whether they're tackling sacred cantatas or secular arias, the ensemble's passion shines through in their energetic performances and collaborations with international soloists. They've built a reputation for scholarly yet accessible takes on 18th-century repertoire, performing at festivals across Europe and releasing albums that spotlight Gdańsk's Baroque legacy. If you're into historical tunes with a fresh vibe, these folks are definitely worth checking out!
