Barokksolistene is an award-winning ensemble working with borderless baroque and folk music, weaving humour, dance, drama and ale drinking into their shows! Since their foundation in 2005 by baroque violinist and mastermind Bjarte Eike, they have been touring Europe and America to sold-out shows. Their energy is contageous!
"One of music's most exhilarating, anarchic projects" (The Sunday Times)
"Dancing, chanting, craft beer and unimpeachable virtuosity" (The Guardian)
"Irresistable" (The Times)
"This is not very classical, and certainly not very British. But it is exhilarating" (The Guardian")
"Barokksolistene og Bjarte Eikes konsertkonsept The Alehouse Sessions har gått sin seiersgang verden over – med god grunn. En røff blanding av gamle engelske drikkeviser, rytmedrevet finbarokk og gnistrende spill gjør The Alehouse Sessions til en musikkopplevelse som skiller seg fra alt annet." (Aftenposten)
