I Febiarmonici (Period Instrument Ensemble)

Founded: 1998

The I Febiarmonici, a period instrument ensemble founded in 1998 and operating on the principles of historical performance practice, draws its members from musicians of international origin and reputation. The ensemble was set up by the violinist Jochen Grüner, who was educated at the Academy of Early Music in Bremen. The ensemble takes its inspiration from Italian musical troupes of the 18^th century, which in their time toured their country as so-called I Febiarmonici and obtained an outstanding reputation through the quality of their music and love of travelling. In the short time since its foundation the ensemble has won particular acclaim in the interesting projects that it has undertaken.
