Bergen Barokk

Bergen Barokk was established in 1994 and is now considered one of Norway’s leading early music ensembles. Bergen Barokk has performed concerts in the Nordic countries, Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States as well as having many of their concerts broadcast. CDs are released on Simax Classics, BIS, Bergen Digital, Toccata Classics and LAWO Classics, with repertoires from German, English, French and Italian Baroque.
  Since 2006, the ensemble has worked on the complete recording of Telemann’s cantata year-cycle “Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst”, a collection of 72 cantatas for all Sundays, Passiontide as well as feast days of the liturgical year. The project is supported by the University of Bergen and is published by Toccata Classics in London. Bergen Barokk has collaborated with ensembles such as Pratum Integrum (Moscow), The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir and Barokksolistene and has performed at festivals such as the Philadelphia Bach Festival, the Moscow Early Music Festival, the Bergen International Festival and the Janácek International Music Festival (Czech Republic). Bergen Barokk is supported by the municipality of Bergen and Arts Council Norway.
