Musica ad Rhenum is a distinguished early music ensemble founded in 1992 by flautist Jed Wentz. Specializing in Baroque music repertoire, the group focuses on historically informed performances, playing on period instruments to bring authentic interpretations of 17th- and 18th-century music to modern audiences. The name of the ensemble, Latin for "Music on the Rhine," signifies their connection to the rich musical traditions of the Rhineland and their dedication to the exploration of the period's diverse compositions.

The ensemble is well-regarded for its dynamic and expressive playing, often delving into the intricacies of Baroque music with scholarly insight and a vivacious approach. Musica ad Rhenum's discography is extensive and varied, with a particular emphasis on chamber music. Their recent releases underscore their versatility and depth, focusing on seminal works by renowned composers such as Handel, Mozart, and Couperin, along with resurrecting lesser-known gems by Philidor, Ruppe, De Fesch, and J.D. Braun. Notable for their keen interpretations and innovative performance style, Musica ad Rhenum continues to captivate audiences and contribute significantly to the early music scene both in the Netherlands and internationally.
