About the orchestra
New Musical Perspectives
Founded in Rome in 2018 on the initiative of Francesca Ascioti, Enea Barock Orchestra (EBO) has established itself in just a few years as one of the freshest and most daring voices on the European Baroque scene. Specialising in the repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries, the orchestra combines historical authenticity with expressive freedom, earning recognition for its original projects and prestigious collaborations.
From the modern-day rediscovery of Hasse’s serenata Enea in Caonia – which gave the ensemble both its name and its artistic inspiration – to its acclaimed appearance at the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, EBO continues to surprise and delight audiences. With a deeply inclusive ethos and a strong commitment to highlighting women’s contributions to music, the orchestra has created projects such as Donne all’Opera, a concert against gender-based violence performed by an all-female orchestra.
The orchestra’s musical directors are Stefano Montanari and Gabriele Pro, two of the most respected interpreters of Baroque music today. An outstanding scientific advisory committee also ensures the ensemble’s artistic originality and stylistic coherence.
