THE BAROQUE SOCIETY
THE BAROQUE SOCIETY
Your petite baroque band & musical treasure hunter
TBS = The Baroque Society
“What if there was a whole world of music that we didn’t yet know? Music for dreaming, music for connecting with each other - from one human to the other”
TBS highlights hidden musical treasures and works by female baroque composers alongside well known baroque classics. The band embraces a fresh approach to historically informed performance practice - sparkling virtuosity, playful improvisation and daring musical concepts. Together with our audience we want to find home to the music - poetry for heart and mind.
Our core:
Yngvild Haaland Ruud (harpsichord & other keyboards + ensemble direction)
Jesenka Balic Zunic (violin, viola, viola d’amore & viola da spalla)
Louise Gorm (violin)
Mikkel Schreiber (viola & violin)
Adam Grauman (viola da gamba & violone)
We love to expand our band with friends & guest performers whenever needed. Collaborations in past/close future includes:
Christina Herresthal, mezzo
Fanny Kempe, mezzo
Martin Vanberg, tenor
Marlene Metzger, soprano

Behind the scenes
The power-duo of Yngvild Ruud and Trine Heide makes up the office of The Baroque Society running everything from artistic planning, strategising, planning concerts and tours, developing new collaborations and talking A LOT about how to make connections with our audiences and create the best baroque society, we can imagine. Usually, office hours includes loads of coffee or from time to time, a glass of wine - nature, bien sûr.
