In 1985, the music world celebrated the 300th birthday of the Baroque masters Bach, Händel, and Scarlatti, and the “European Year of Music” was declared for this occasion. As a birthday gift, there was EUBO: With the European Union Baroque Orchestra founded for this occasion, an ensemble was created that has since been reassembled year after year from the most talented young Baroque musicians in Europe, preparing them for one of the professional ensembles of early music. Regularly, this top orchestra with its singular youthful spirit was a guest at the Deutsche Philharmonie Merck in Darmstadt – until 2017, when EUBO had to cease its activities due to lack of funding. But now we are delighted to announce the return of this musical spring: After a period of inactivity following Brexit, EUBO has moved its headquarters from England to Italy and is back on the European early music stage – and of course back in Darmstadt.
The first program presents three centers of European Baroque music: Germany with Georg Philipp Telemann's incredibly vivid “Water Music,” France with the equally vivid Elements Suite by Jean-Féry Rebel, and Italy, the new EUBO home with Vivaldi's so vital-naturalistic “Four Seasons.”
