Wrocławska Orkiestra Barokowa [Wrocław Baroque Orchestra] was formed in October 2006 at Witold Lutosławski Philharmonic in Wrocław.
The prime mover behind its establishment was Andrzej Kosendiak, General Manager of the Philharmonic, as well as “Wratislavia Cantans” International Festival, who entrusted artistic leadership of the ensemble to well-known cellist, Jarosław Thiel.
The Orchestra began its artistic activity with concerts held at the beautiful interior of the Grand Auditorium of Wrocław’s Town Hall. The concerts, which enjoyed immense popularity with audiences in Wrocław and elsewhere, featured works by J. S. Bach, J. G. Goldberg, J. Haydn, W. A. Mozart and G. P. Teleman.
From the very beginning, the Baroque Orchestra brought together leading musicians of the baroque scene, whose artistic skills have been highly praised by musical critics.
Success of the orchestra’s opening season brought the ensemble an invitation to participate in the 42nd edition “Wratislavia Cantans” International Festival.
In the 2007/2008 season, the orchestra are going to continue their series of concerts at the Grand Auditorium of the Wrocław Town Hall, during which late-Baroque and Classicist compositions rarely performed in Poland shall be presented.
Orchestra guests will feature such outstanding soloists, as Simone Kermes (soprano), Barbara Maria Willi (piano), or Adrian Rovatkay (bassoon).
