Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century
Renowned in the field of historically informed performance
The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is one of the world’s leading ensembles in the field of historically informed performance. Its musicians perform internationally with renowned chamber and symphony groups, coming together several times a year to present both iconic and lesser‑known repertoire.
In the early 1980s, the orchestra gained worldwide recognition for performing symphonic works on original instruments and in a historically informed manner. A revolution that has continued ever since.
