Early Music

Early music is thriving like never before

Early music is thriving like never before. New finds, fresh insights and innovative musicians are breathing new life into the genre. The Early Music series brings it all together: from Bach and Handel to folk songs about women. And from the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir to Pygmalion and countertenor Valer Sabadus. Early music sounds new again.
