Freiburg Baroque Orches­tra

For nearly four dec­ades, the Freiburg Baroque Orches­tra (FBO) has been one of the lead­ing ensembles in his­tor­ic­ally informed per­form­ance prac­tice. Led by its con­cert­mas­ters Cecil­ia Bern­ardini and Gottfried von der Goltz, the orches­tra com­bines cham­ber-music­al pre­ci­sion, schol­arly curi­os­ity, and col­lect­ive respons­ib­il­ity. A broad styl­ist­ic range from the early Baroque to the present day, as well as a curi­os­ity for both well-known and less­er-known rep­er­toire, char­ac­ter­ise the work of the ensemble, which was foun­ded in 1987 by gradu­ates of the Freiburg Uni­ver­sity of Music.

With around 100 con­certs annu­ally, the FBO per­forms on the most import­ant stages and fest­ivals in the world, includ­ing the Salzburg Fest­iv­al and the Fest­iv­al d’Aix-en-Provence. The ensemble has sig­ni­fic­ant artist­ic part­ner­ships, includ­ing with Kris­ti­an Bezuid­en­hout as Prin­cip­al Guest Dir­ect­or, and Pablo Heras-Cas­ado and Sir Simon Rattle. The FBO organ­ises its own sub­scrip­tion series in Freiburg, Stut­tgart and Ber­lin. Its multi-award-win­ning dis­co­graphy com­prises over 130 record­ings.

From 2025, Opheli­as Cul­ture PR will com­pre­hens­ively sup­port FBO in press and pub­lic rela­tions, album pro­mo­tion for releases, and PR strategies and digit­al com­mu­nic­a­tion, to strengthen the ensemble’s vis­ib­il­ity and pro­file.
