Ensemble 1700 was established by Dorothee Oberlinger in Cologne in 2002 and focuses on European chamber music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Its basis in musicology and awareness of performance practice, coupled with the highest technical expertise, has resulted in a wide range of lively concert performances that have been enthusiastically received by press and public alike. Guest appearances in leading venues, including the Konzerthaus in Vienna and the Philharmonie in Cologne, and at important European music festivals, such as the Tage Alter Musik in Herne and the Resonanzen festival in Vienna have been highly successful and have consolidated the young ensemble’s reputation. To complement the regular line-up, Dorothee Oberlinger has increasingly invited famous specialists to guest on concert and recording projects, including the Baroque specialist Reinhard Goebel. |
