The B'Rock Orchestra, established in Ghent, Belgium in 2005, swiftly cemented its reputation as one of the leading ensembles in the realm of period instrument performance. Named with a playful nod to its Baroque repertoire and its founding city's rock 'n' roll attitude, B'Rock Orchestra brings a fresh and energetic approach to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Under the guidance of its artistic directors and featuring musicians from across Europe, the orchestra strives to bridge the gap between historical performance practice and contemporary audience expectations.

Their discography, including renditions of Handel's "Famous Pieces," "Water & Fire," and "Music for the Royal Fireworks," along with interpretations of Schubert's "Unfinished and Great Symphony" and "Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3," showcases not only their versatility but also their commitment to exploring both well-trodden and less familiar baroque territories. The ensemble's interest in the works of lesser-known composers, as evidenced by their recordings of compositions by Steelant, underlines their mission to broaden the Baroque repertoire accessible to modern audiences. Through their innovative programming and engaging performances, the B'Rock Orchestra continues to carve out a unique and distinguished place within the international classical music scene.
