Bio
Europa Galante is an Italian Baroque orchestra founded in Parma in 1989. The ensemble specializes in historically informed performances of 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, with a particular focus on Italian composers such as Vivaldi, Corelli, and Alessandro Scarlatti. Under the direction of violinist Fabio Biondi, the group has become known for its energetic and scholarly approach to Baroque music, performing both instrumental concertos and vocal works with period instruments. Europa Galante has released numerous acclaimed recordings on labels including Virgin Classics and Glossa, contributing significantly to the revival of lesser-known Baroque repertoire.
