“You know what music is?
Robin Williams
God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe;
harmonic connection between all living beings,
everywhere,
even the stars.”
The Family
Baroque & more relies on professional musicians who specialize in the performance of Baroque music… and more. Depending on the production’s needs, the musicians are assembled into the following ensembles:
Ensemble Baroque & more
With expertise in historically informed performance practice, using authentic instruments, ranging from Baroque chamber music to a full Baroque orchestra.
The Voices!
From a double quartet to 16 or 24 singers, depending on the repertoire to be performed.
Baroque Opera Company (Flanders)
A socio-cultural participatory project where artistry and societal relevance are central.
Production Team
Together with artistic director Luc Ponet, the day-to-day management of Baroque & More is handled by two coordinators, Martine Breynaert and Marie Petit. Both bring extensive experience in the music and production sectors.
Artistic Team
The artistic team of Baroque & More comprises artists and musicians who, alongside artistic director Luc Ponet, serve as a sounding board to ensure the quality and originality of the productions.
