The European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO) provides specialist baroque orchestral training to post-graduate level students from all over Europe. EUBO’s modus operandi since its foundation in 1985 has been to audition and select new personnel every year. EUBO’s ephemeral existence makes its concerts special: live performances throughout the EU, enjoying all the technical accomplishment of the best young baroque musicians in Europe, allied to an infectious undimmed sense of discovery and enjoyment. EUBO’s touring programme is assisted by sponsorship from The Early Music Shop and the orchestra’s role as a Cultural Ambassador for the European Union is affirmed in perpetuity. The activities of EUBO are an integral part of the EUBO Mobile Baroque Academy, a Creative Europe co-operation project 2015-2018 co-funded by the European Union. “Mortensen’s energetic and characterful direction from the harpsichord inspires a rich, colourful sound, with gracefully arching phrases: there was nothing flashy, just elegant, tasteful playing from EUBO.” (Bachtrack)
