Fetish Baroque brings early music into the new millennium and uses everything the 21st century has to offer: Light technology, sound technology, fog machines, pole poles, costumes, body painting, disco balls and gut strings, baroque bows, trills and theorbos. The musicians from the European metropolises of Barcelona, Palermo, Paris, Cologne, Vienna and Graz are in the mood for a historically informed approach to the content of music.
Fetish Baroque finally present their art to a new generation that wants more than the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert on ORF 2, Alla Turca ringtones on their mobile phones and Youtube monks holding Handel's Hallelujah text in the air.
