Göttingen Baroque Orchestra
With musical quality, stylistic diversity and passionate enthusiasm and vitality, the Göttingen Baroque Orchestra has established a firm place for itself in northern German musical life since 1995.

The ensemble's repertoire spans a period of more than four hundred years. Music by early baroque masters such as Monteverdi and Schütz is as much a part of it as the great choral works and instrumental concertos by Bach, Handel and Telemann. The orchestra also regularly performs symphonic works by Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms and music by contemporary composers, including world premieres. It has always been part of the Göttingen Baroque Orchestra's self-image not to restrict its field of activity to a specific epoch.

This works because the members of the orchestra all play music on the "historical" instruments typical for a particular period and are very familiar with the playing technique and the requirements for the music of the respective time.

The guarantor of this stylistic diversity is not least the violinist Hans-Henning Vater. He founded the Göttingen Baroque Orchestra in 1995 and is still the ensemble's concertmaster. He is a much sought-after soloist on the baroque violin as well as on the modern violin across genres.

Like Hans-Henning Vater, the members of the Göttingen Baroque Orchestra are all specialists in their field.

In 2016, the Göttingen Baroque Orchestra recorded its first CD, and in 2017 it conducted its first tour as well as several visits abroad.
