- Hannoversche Hofkapelle
The Hanoverian Court Orchestra "(German: Hannoversche Hofkapelle)", located in
Hannover (Germany ), remains totally faithful to the tradition of historic court orchestras and performs bothchamber music andsymphonies . The sound of this ensemble is hallmarked by the fact that the musicians also have experience of playing with different music ensembles on the EuropeanBaroque scene and view historical performance practices "(see also:Historically informed performance )" as a means of keeping current.The repertoire of the
Orchestra is not restricted to the many forms ofBaroque music alone, but also includes classical works, with Mozart operas and the Romantic era being particularly favoured. Their constant involvement with 17th and 18th-century music has made the CourtOrchestra musicians masters of their respective instruments. The result is the expressive and elegant style of playing that assures the orchestra its prominent position. The Hanoverian Court Orchestra has been the orchestra in residence at the Herrenhausen Festival Weeks since 2006.Members (example)
