Historical Performance

Historical performance is a genre dedicated to authentically interpreting early music using period instruments, historical techniques, and historically informed practices. It spans the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras, emphasizing original tunings, ornamentation, and performance styles based on historical sources. Ensembles and soloists in this field bring music from the 16th to 18th centuries to life with a focus on historical accuracy and expressive nuance. The genre covers vocal and instrumental works, from chamber ensembles to brass consorts, often reviving forgotten repertoire and offering fresh insights into well-known compositions.
