Orchester "Anima Eterna"

In the last fifteen years, the Orchestra Anima Eterna has developed from a small Baroque ensemble into a full-scale symphony orchestra whose forces and instrumentation can be varied according to programming and the demands of historical performance practice. The orchestra has earned an excellent reputation, particularly for its authentic performances of the core 19th century repertoire; its historically informed interpretations now encompass repertoire up to the mid-20th century. Anima Eterna is involved in these ventures on a project-by-project basis. Research into historical performance practice always takes place in the context of a dialogue between conductor and orchestra. For each project, a regular core of soloists is supplemented with musicians who have experience particularly with repertoire and instruments. Anima Eterna regularly performs in Belgium and abroad. Since 2003 it has been “Orchestra in Residence” at the Concertgebouw in Bruges and has recorded CDs for the “Collection Anima Eterna” on the French record label Zig-Zag Territoires.
