Acronym is a distinctive early music ensemble specializing in the lesser-known repertoire of the seventeenth century. Formed in 2012 by a group of friends passionate about the emotive and technical intricacies of historically informed performance, this collective of musicians has committed itself to unearthing and interpreting the forgotten sounds of the Baroque era. Their work is characterized by a deep scholarly approach, coupled with an expressive and virtuosic delivery that breathes new life into ancient compositions.

Over the years, Acronym has become renowned for their thematic and conceptual album releases, which often revolve around a specific composer or collection of works from their niche period. Albums such as "Schmelzer: Le Memorie Dolorose" and "Johann Rosenmüller in Exile" not only showcase the ensemble's dedication to the music of these composers but also reflect their ongoing exploration of the historical contexts that shaped the music. With their latest projects like "Cantica obsoleta" and "Acronym: The Battle, the Bethel, and the Ball," the group continues to share their passionate interpretations, bringing to the forefront the rich tapestry of sounds that would otherwise remain silent to modern ears. Through their recordings, Acronym invites listeners to immerse themselves in the vibrant musical landscape of the past, offering an experience that is as enlightening as it is enchanting.
