Founded in 1982 in East Berlin, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (Akamus) has firmly established itself as one of the leading ensembles in the field of historically informed performance. With a diverse repertoire that spans from the Baroque through to the early Romantic era, the ensemble has received international acclaim for its lively and authentic interpretation of music from this period. Committed to playing on period instruments, Akamus has captivated global audiences with its dynamic performances and has been recognized through numerous awards and accolades for its extensive discography.

In their recent releases, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin has showcased its mastery over a wide gamut of 18th-century music. With albums dedicated to the works of Handel, including "Handel: Famous Pieces" and "Handel: Coronation Anthems," the ensemble pays homage to the grandeur of the Baroque style. Their skilled interpretation of Mozart's works, such as "Mozart: Paris & Haffner Symphonies & Oboe Concerto" and "Mozart: Coronation Mass, K. 317," captures the elegance and complexity of the Classical era. The ensemble also brings to life the music of Bach with releases like "Bach: Mass in B Minor, BWV 232" and immerses listeners in the festive spirit with "Christmas with Bach." Akamus’s dedication to exploring less familiar composers, as evident in their albums featuring music by Méhul, Cherubini, and Paul Wranitzky, illustrates the ensemble's commitment to enriching the classical music landscape with a nuanced and comprehensive portrayal of the era's diverse musical innovations.
