Rubato Appassionato was founded in the year 2000 at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The ensemble devotes itself to baroque music, exploring the beauty and elegance of the 18th century. The unique combination of instruments opens doors to creativity and originality while remaining faithful to the spirit and aesthetics of baroque music. The repertoire embraces music from Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, England and Spain, containing pieces which are both exquisite and virtuous. Passionate for research of forgotten and unknown compositions, the ensemble imposes on itself the goal to capture these musical gems and offer them to the public. The use of the cello as a harmonic instrument playing the basso continuo is a historical performance-practice that gives a very sparkling and fresh color. Rubato Appassionato has performed all over Holland, Spain and Israel.
