Biography

Arco Baleno is known for its broad programming, boldness in tacking older and lesser-known repertoire, and the willingness to explore new pieces. The confrontation of these very different worlds not only supplies oxygen to the ensemble's creativity, but also surprises many listeners. 
Arco Baleno is working on two different areas : 
As a chamber music ensemble Arco Baleno enter the concert podia in divergent formations, from duo to chamber orchestra in pocket format. The ensemble plays lively and inspired concerts of high quality. Through intense cooperation in the last 22 years, the group has developed a distinct timbre and style of playing. 
The interaction with the audiences has always been very important. For this reason Arco Baleno also develops himself as a concert organizer.
The Begijnhofconcerten, Kloosterhofconcerten and Kasteelconcerten treat the audiences on a coloured pallet of musical styles.
