Under the artistic directorship of Bjarte Eike, Norway’s leading baroque violinist, Barokksolistene is an Early Music ensemble of flexible format, established in 2005, which serves as a platform where instrumentalists at a high soloist level – all of them among the foremost performers on their instrument in Europe – can develop as artists and chamber musicians; they are able to perform in formations such as chamber orchestra, pub band, freely improvising group, cross-over ensemble, or quite small and intimate chamber groups.
