List of early music ensembles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An early music ensemble is one that specializes in performing music of the European classical tradition from the Baroque era and before, i.e. generally music before 1750. The following is a list of those groups which have a substantial output of commercially available recordings.

Some of these groups "cross over" into other genres, such as folk music.

Name in parentheses is the current director. Most, but not all, of these groups are advocates of authentic performance, and attempt to recreate the music as it might have sounded at the time it was written, using authentic instruments and modifying playing techniques according to the most recent scholarly research into music of the time.
