_____________________

Europa Galante was founded in 1990 by violinist Fabio Biondi, who was wanting to form an Italian period instrument ensemble to perform both Baroque and Classical era repertoire. The ensemble has a varying structure and often performs chamber music such as the string sonatas of Italian composers of the 17th century, 18th century operas by Handel, Vivaldi and others, operas, serenatas and oratorios by Alessandro Scarlatti as well as giving considerable attention to the instrumental music of Antonio Vivaldi. Their records have won many international awards, and they have twice been nominated for a Grammy Award.

Fabio Biondi (born 15 March 1961) is an Italian violinist and conductor, one of the most important and influential figures of the Baroque period-instrument movement. He had worked with such distinguished groups as Musica Antiqua Wien, La Chapelle Royale, Il Seminario musicale and Les Musiciens du Louvre, before founding his own ensemble, Europa Galante, in 1990. With Biondi as soloist and director, Europa Galante’s performances and recordings of Italian Baroque music in particular rapidly established them as one of the world’s foremost original-instrument ensembles, with a distinctive Italian style.
