power of integration, and EUBO is a perfect
example of what this can mean for Europe.
Bringing together talent of different
backgrounds, nationalities and languages,
it serves as a reminder of what we can
achieve by working together.”

I was fortunate enough in 1985 to act as Chairman
of the United Kingdom’s celebrations for
European Music Year. There were many exciting
projects but the launch of the European Baroque
Orchestra (as it was then, seven years before the
Union came about) was one that has stood the
test of time and proved of far-reaching value.
In the quarter of a century since, I have been able
to hear many of the orchestras that have been
trained under the EUBO’s auspices. I look at the
continuing excellence of the music-making and
the constantly widening number of countries from
which the participants are drawn as full
justification of everything we instigated in 1985.
Each time I hear the orchestra perform, I am
amazed at the consistent brilliance each year’s
players manage to achieve in such a short time.
It is a great source of pride that so many have
made successful careers all over Europe.
I offer my congratulations and great good
wishes to this year’s orchestra and look
forward to hearing the EUBO concerts for
many years ahead.
HRH The Duke of Kent KG
Chairman, Honorary Committee of Patrons
I am very happy that the EUBO is now resident
in Luxembourg, and that the residency for
rehearsals, auditions and concerts is hosted by
Echternach, the oldest town in the country and
one with a long and distinguished musical
history. Luxembourg has long seen itself as a
natural home for the European ideal and
bringing together young players from all over
Europe to experience what true integration can
offer in practice is a perfect expression of that
ideal. It shows that by joining together with one
purpose and with enthusiasm we can not only
understand each other better, but achieve the
highest standards without ever losing our own
individuality or culture. One only has to see the
energy that the EUBO’s members bring to the
music to realise how refreshing and exciting
such team work can be. It is an example to us
all and an endlessly positive and enjoyable
demonstration to our citizens of the value of our
nations’ commitment to Europe as a whole.
I hope that Luxembourg will have the pleasure
of being involved in shaping many more young
musicians like these in the years to come.
There is a reason we call some of the organisations that receive support under the cultural
programme ‘Ambassadors’. To all parts of Europe and beyond they carry the message that there is
more to the work of the European Union than regulation and technical harmonisation. It is a great
cultural as well as a political project. There is a cultural soul which can bind us together. An
orchestra can be a metaphor for the whole process of social cohesion and the EUBO, with its
ever-changing group of musicians presented at the most influential point of their young
professional lives, is especially apt. The EUBO enables people of common interest to join together
in search of a common goal and to present the results of their close collaboration in a way which
leads to something far more satisfactory than could ever be achieved alone. The difference
between this orchestra and the Union, of course, is that the orchestra members only stay for a
short time, whereas we intend that the member states form a permanent ensemble.
Octavie Modert
Minister of Culture, Luxembourg
Androulla Vassiliou
European Commission
Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth
The EUBO was a European Community project and it has worked triumphantly for 25 years. Many
‘generations’ of its players have been captured in recordings and the high quality has never
faltered. Those musicians now form the backbone of the period instrument revival all over Europe.
At least three professional groups have been formed by ‘graduates’ of the EUBO who want to
continue their experience of performing and touring together. Successive Commissioners have
attended EUBO concerts and come away re-invigorated in the worth and importance of the
European Union’s cultural commitments.
Perhaps the greatest tribute that I can pay the EUBO, its players past and present, is to say that it
feels a completely natural and inherent part of what we do. Listen to the wonderful music, watch
differences dissolve. Where the players come from ceases to matter as the power of music takes
over. The European Union is proud to have its name in this superb and constantly refreshed
ensemble – Ambassadors indeed!

EUROPEAN UNION BAROQUE ORCHESTRA
1985-2010: 25th Anniversary
25 years ago the Council of Europe and the European
Commission designated 1985 as "European Music Year" to
celebrate the 300th anniversary of the births of three of the most
important composers of the baroque era: GF Handel, JS Bach
and D Scarlatti. This presented the perfect opportunity to
encourage new developments and ideas in the baroque musical
field. Conscious of the increasing interest across Europe in
reviving 18th century performance practices, the 'UK European
Music Year' Committee, under the Chairmanship of HRH The Duke
of Kent, approved an initiative to promote a pan-European
orchestral training programme to help young talented musicians
embarking on careers in baroque music. Thus in January 1985,
the European Baroque Orchestra, as it was then called, was
created in Oxford, where young European musicians had the
unique opportunity of working for a year under almost every
major baroque orchestral director.
The idea was just too good to drop.
Excited by its possibilities and potential, one of the project's
initiators, Paul James, decided in 1986 to move the orchestra onto
a permanent basis as an annual educational, training and
performing programme, obtaining funding and recognition from
the European Community and the status of European Cultural
Ambassador. So what began as a one-off project has developed
into a significant force in the musical establishment. Ton Koopman
was appointed Music Director in 1987, followed in 1989 by
Roy Goodman and subsequently by Lars Ulrik Mortensen,
who took over in 2004 as Music Director, with Margaret Faultless
as Director of Studies. The orchestra has been managed from the
outset by Director General, Paul James, joined by Emma Wilkinson
in 1988 as Orchestral Manager.
25 years on and the orchestra has become an essential part of the
world of baroque music.
Every Easter about 100 talented young baroque student musicians
from across Europe are invited to audition. The 25 successful
candidates, typically from 12 or more different countries with an
average age of 25 years, spend six months together from July to
December, training, touring and performing with some of the
world’s leading baroque specialists throughout Europe and
sometimes further afield. Each season usually comprises five
15-day tours of four different musical programmes, performed
under Lars Ulrik Mortensen and guest directors and
concertmasters. The Orchestra gives around 30 concerts and
masterclasses in about 12 different countries each year. At the
end of the season, the musicians of EUBO move on into the
professional world and the whole process, from audition to
graduation, begins again with completely new players. EUBO has
been so successful in its mission that there are now former EUBO
students in every major professional baroque ensemble in Europe.
Since its foundation, more than 700 musicians have been full
members of the Orchestra, which has given over 750 concerts in
53 different countries, including all 27 EU Member States, as an
Ambassador for the European Union. EUBO’s 53rd country, Serbia,
hosts the Orchestra for the first time in July 2010 as part of the
Belgrade Summer Festival. Over the years, the orchestra
has established relationships with some of Europe’s most
prestigious venues, such as the Concertgebouw in
Amsterdam, and festivals like the Edinburgh International
Festival; but EUBO has always sought to include many frequently
neglected regions in its touring programmes, for example the
Middle East, the Balkans and South America. In 2008 EUBO was
invited to become the "orchestra-in-residence" in Echternach, the
oldest city in Luxembourg, since when the Orchestra has based
many of its activities there under the auspices of the City of
Echternach at the Centre Culturel Trifolion, including a concert
series Echter’Barock, organised and promoted in partnership with
the International Festival of Echternach. EUBO also enjoys special
status as 'artist in association' at Stiftung Kloster Michaelstein in
Germany, with Jardins d’Agrément in Amilly in France, and in
Portugal with the Casa da Musica in Porto.
The European Union Baroque Orchestra remains a highly valued
training resource for young musicians. Without EUBO providing a
constantly refreshed pool of experienced new talent, there is no
doubt that professional baroque ensembles would find it difficult to
maintain their standards and that the health and vitality of baroque
performance across the world would suffer. The Orchestra has
inspired the hundreds of young people who have trained with it
since 1985 and the many thousands who have experienced its
dazzling performances each year. Providing ideal conditions to
nurture EUBO’s young talents is an expensive undertaking, and it is
thanks to funding from the European Commission (through the EU
Culture programme), the loyal support of the City of Echternach,
partners, corporate and individual friends, and the EUBO
Development Trust, that this unique project continues for the
benefit of future performers and audiences.
Inspired performance. Real experience.

EUBO is Orchestra-in-Residence for the third consecutive
year in Echternach, Luxembourg, and is grateful to its
partners for making this possible: Ville d’Echternach,
Festival International d’Echternach, Centre Culturel,
Touristique et de Congrès Trifolion.
Many of the orchestra’s activities take place in Echternach,
including rehearsals and the annual audition courses.
Ville dʼEchternach
A series of concerts under the banner “Echter’Barock” was
created as part of this residency, and is now an essential
part of the cultural life in Echternach, Luxembourg and
the Grande Région.
This partnership, that brings EUBO to the heart of Europe,
is a great help to the orchestra; and EUBO is immensely
grateful for the support shown by everyone who is
involved in this collaboration.
Why now?
WHY CLOUD COMPUTING?
Innovation in the computing industry continues to
enable new opportunities for society, from a “PC
in every home” to “cloud computing.” This recent,
nebulous image refers to the use of computing
power that you do not own and that is located
elsewhere, in “the cloud” of remote networks.
What’s new? This concept is familiar to anyone who
uses online services to manage and store data, like
Hotmail for email or Flickr for photos. On the other
hand, businesses and governments have preferred
to keep and control data in their own IT systems.
As these organizations look to drive down
costs, there is increasing interest in alternative
approaches. Cloud-based services are now more
powerful and reliable for such users. Large data
centres offer economies of scale, providing cheaper
computing power, with the flexibility to pay only
for what you use. Like electricity, you don’t need
to own the generators; you just plug in and pay as
you go.
New Opportunities for Europe
By lowering costs, and also lowering barriers to
entry for IT developers, cloud computing offers
“the medicine needed for Europe’s credit-squeezed
economy”, as Commissioner Reding has stated.
Simply put, both users and developers can do more
with less, by accessing greater computing power
without having to invest up front large sums for
equipment.
Innovation flows from these new capabilities. In a
program called BizSpark, aimed at helping early
stage start-ups by providing them with software
and support, many of the 8,000 participating
European companies are already providing
cloud-based services. Cloud resources enable
a new company like Lokad in France to deliver
sophisticated sales forecasting tools for large
retailers or manufacturers to optimize inventories.
The upcoming BizSpark European Summit, in Paris,
will bring together many more promising start-ups
who are delivering their solutions in the cloud.
Going forward, all organisations, and especially
entrepreneurial SMEs, will be interested to tap
into computing resources beyond what they could
previously afford in order to increase productivity
and reach wider markets.
New Responsibilities
Before the promise of cloud computing can be
realized we all need more confidence in the
security, privacy, portability and availability of our
data. We need a safe, open and interoperable
cloud – one that is protected from the efforts of
thieves and hackers while also serving as an open
platform for sharing and storing information for
people around the world. We need connectivity
we can depend on.
Legitimate questions reflect the responsibilities that
come with cloud-based services:
Are you confident that your privacy is being
protected, that your data is secure, that you can
reach it when you need? If you live in one country
but your data is stored in another, whose laws
govern, and are the rules consistent?
Industry and governments can build on solid
experience to address such questions. The current
computing trend holds the potential for tremendous
cost savings, flexibility, and growth. Yet as we move
to embrace evolving cloud technologies, we also
must meet fundamental expectations about the
management of your data. Microsoft is working
with customers, partners, and governments on the
bold goal to help Europe realise its cloud potential.

in London, St John’s Smith Square. The unusually large number of
musicians emulated the atmosphere of Corelli’s concerts in Rome
at the beginning of the 18th century. Many of his contemporaries,
including Geminiani, Muffat and Handel visited him there and
were inspired by his music.

"The audience reaction to the final concert of the series,
Roman Concerti Grossi played by the dazzling European
Union Baroque Orchestra (led by soloists Enrico Onofri
and Maggie Faultless) seemed almost to render a
review redundant; it was surely loud enough for EMT
readers, scattered to the four winds, to have heard
for themselves."
Early Music Today
"Blessed with apparently inexhaustible energy and skill—
both of his own and in his young musicians—Onofri has
created a gem of an ensemble. (...) the music that they
make together is fresh and joyously self-assured. Judging
by this performance the future of period performance in
Europe is truly in safe hands."

‘Music’, as Purcell’s song insisted, ‘for a while shall all your
cares beguile’. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was probably
even truer than now because medicine was not much help in
relieving even the most basic ailments. Even then, however,
fear of illness was often greater than the illness itself and
both Zelenka and Charpentier, in their deft and witty allusions,
suggested that the mind infected by hypochondria presented
a slightly ridiculous picture.
Not so with battle wounds inflicted in Heinrich Biber’s
Battalia, one of the most vivid pictures in baroque music,
as impressive for his ability to recreate the atmosphere of
fighting through such a limited group of instruments as for
keeping the mayhem within the boundaries of musical form.
Biber, perhaps the greatest violin virtuoso of his time, wrote
it in 1673 – the same year as Charpentier’s incidental music
to Molière’s Le Malade Imaginaire.
Biber was employed by the Archbishop of Salzburg (as Mozart
was to be 100 years later). He was joined in Salzburg by Georg
Muffat, and after a few years Muffat took leave of absence to
study in Italy. The result was an extraordinary series of suites
and concertos which merge his own Franco-German traditions
with those that Corelli was pioneering south of the Alps.
Presto – Der Mars – Presto – Aria – Die Schlacht – Lamento der
Between them Muffat and Corelli can be said to have set
down the models that the next generation – Vivaldi, Locatelli,
Zelenka, Albinoni and even Bach, Handel and Rameau – made
their own with such spectacular success. Georg Muffat did
indeed provide the musical convalescence that his friend
Heinrich Biber had set the scene for in his ‘battle’.

Cantata Ero e Leandro, HWV150
Handel’s whole career revolved around spectacle. When he was
living in Rome in the first decade of the 18th Century, opera was
banned by the Pope, so Handel wrote over 100 dramatic cantatas
for his aristocratic and church patrons, notably the lavish
Cardinal Ottoboni. From these early cantatas, like Ero e Leandro,
to his final oratorios (which were so dramatic they are staged
now as if they were operas) his music was ostentatiously
theatrical. Even his instrumental works were mostly written for
grand public entertainments. George Frideric was not a man of
the drawing room and domesticity.
Most of the first half of this programme is taken up with music
from Alcina, an opera which as much as any demonstrates the
trials and tribulations of Handel’s determined attempt to root
Italian Opera in London. After losing too much money trying to
present opera at the King’s Theatre in the Haymarket (largely
because the Court was split between factions supporting King
George II against his children), Handel combined forces in 1734
with the manager John Rich. Rich had just opened his superb
and lavish new Theatre Royal Covent Garden (still the site of
the Royal Opera House) and offered Handel the chance to
produce opera, pastoral and ballet, alternating with Rich’s own
productions of spoken drama. As the main dancing attraction,
Rich brought with him from his previous theatre the Parisian
Marie Sallé who, in her late twenties, was exciting and shocking
London audiences in equal measure and as a star singer he
engaged the castrato Giovanni Carestini.
Of the other operas with arias in this programme, the hugely
successful comedy Agrippina was written for the San Giovanni
Crisostomo theatre (now the Teatro Malibran) in Venice in 1710.
All the others were written for the King’s Theatre in London’s
Haymarket (which has now reverted to its original name, Her
Majesty’s Theatre, and shows musicals), Giulio Cesare (1724),
Admeto (1727), and Faramondo (1738). Shortly after Faramondo,
the fashion turned against opera in London, and Handel’s
finances were as precarious as ever. In October 1739 Britain
went to war with Spain in an entirely unnecessary trading
dispute called the War of Jenkin’s Ear, after a sailor accused the
Spanish of cutting off his ear when his ship was boarded. That
month, though, Handel wrote all 12 of his Op.6 Concerti Grossi,
an astonishing feat for anybody else except Handel, who wrote
The Messiah in three weeks a couple of years later.
©Simon Mundy
Alcina, with a libretto drawn from an incident from Ariosto’s
poem Orlando Furioso, opened on 16 April 1735 and it was an
immediate success, laced with the necessary spoonful of scandal.
Carestini, playing the knight Ruggiero, had initially rejected his
best aria Verdi Prati, which was promptly returned to him with
the threat from Handel that if he didn’t sing it, he wouldn’t be
paid. The sorceress Alcina herself (two of whose arias we hear
tonight) was sung by Anna Strada, his most loyal soprano – the
only one who had not defected to Bononcini’s rival company.
However, despite all Alcina’s success, it was reported that Handel
lost £9000 on the season – in today’s money the sort of sum
more associated with big movies. For Marie Sallé the production
was a disaster, though because of her costumes not her dancing.
She appeared as a Greek statue dressed in only her petticoat and
bra with a transparent muslin gown over it and then, as Cupid, in
man’s clothes. This was enough excuse for a faction from the
rival theatre to hiss her at every performance and she was so
upset she returned to Paris and never performed in London again.

Concerto Grosso Op 6 No 1 in G
In the early 18th century if you wanted to hear the latest musical
fashion and establish a reputation as a virtuoso you went to Rome,
Venice and Paris – and then traded on the reputation in the courts
of the German princes. But if you wanted to publish your work for
the burgeoning market of semi-professional town music societies
and small aristocratic households, rich enough to hire good players
occasionally but not to maintain full-time orchestras, then you
went to the commercial publishers of Amsterdam and London.
Kailai Chen
There was an incentive for composers to make the connection
themselves. If they didn’t the publishers were quite likely, in the
days before copyright legislation, to sell pirated editions anyway.
But more than that, Amsterdam was famous for the quality of its
engraving and printing – and, as a relatively liberal protestant city,
allowed composers and writers the freedom to ignore the approval
or otherwise of the Catholic Church.
Although Amsterdam was the business address, the publisher who
issued Locatelli, Handel and Telemann’s works there was actually
French: Michel-Charles la Cène, who had inherited the firm of
Roger and La Cène from his father-in-law. Italian music was all
the rage in northern Europe, as Vivaldi and Corelli discovered. So
it is not surprising that Pietro Locatelli, originally from Bergamo,
should decide to settle in Amsterdam after trying his luck and
building his reputation as a violinist throughout Germany.
He settled down in a house on Prinsengracht and let the
publication of his Concerti Grosso establish his name across
Europe. In The Hague Carlo Ricciotti was doing the same,

becoming a publisher himself as well as a virtuoso. This was not
helpful, though, to young and talented local players. Pieter
Hellendaal, despite studying the violin with the great Tartini, found
it hard to make a living in Amsterdam while Locatelli and Ricciotti
were around and so moved first to London (where he played in
many of Handel’s last concerts) and then to Cambridge.
Unico Willem van Wassenaer had no such problem. He was a
diplomat from one of the most well-connected families in the
Netherlands and when Ricciotti pushed him to publish six of his
excellent Concerti Grossi in 1740 he refused unless the van
Wassenaer name was nowhere on the page. It was simply not
considered socially acceptable for a man of his standing to be
publicly thought of as a composer. As a result it was not until
1980 that the concertos were shown to be by him rather than
Ricciotti, whose name they appeared under in The Hague and
London editions.

TON KOOPMAN
Director & Harpsichord
2010 sees the return for the European Union
Baroque Orchestra of the eminent Dutch
musician Ton Koopman. Maestro Koopman
was one of the first Music Directors of the
European Baroque Orchestra (as it first was
called) and directed the first tour in 1985
highlighting 18th century musical links with
Holland. His 1985
programme included
many of the works
that are now
performed by the
25th generation of
orchestral musicians
of the orchestra.
Ton Koopman was
born in Zwolle in
1944. After a classical education he studied
organ, harpsichord and musicology in
Amsterdam and was awarded the Prix
d'Excellence for both instruments. From the
beginning of his musical studies he was
fascinated by authentic instruments and a
performance style based on sound scholarship
13 O ctober
Klarisky Church,
Bratislava,
Slovakia
and in 1969, at the age of 25,
he created his first Baroque
orchestra. In 1979 he founded
the Amsterdam Baroque
Orchestra followed by the
Amsterdam Baroque Choir
in 1992.
Koopman's extensive and
impressive activities as a soloist,
accompanist and conductor
have been recorded on a large
number of LPs and CDs for
labels like Erato, Teldec, Sony,
Philips and DG, besides his own
record label “Antoine
Marchand”, distributed by
Challenge Records.
Over the course of a forty-fiveyear career Ton Koopman has
appeared in the most important
concert halls and festivals of the
five continents. As an organist he has
performed on the most prestigious historical
instruments of Europe, and as a harpsichord
player and conductor of the Amsterdam
Baroque Orchestra and Choir he has been a
regular guest at venues which include the
Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Théatre des
Champs-Elysées in Paris, the Philharmonie in
Munich, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the
Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York
and leading concert halls in Vienna, London,
Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, Rome, Salzburg,
Tokyo and Osaka.
Between 1994 and 2004 Ton Koopman has
been engaged in a unique project, conducting
and recording all the existing Cantatas by
Johann Sebastian Bach, a massive undertaking
for which he has been awarded the Deutsche
Schallplattenpreis "Echo Klassik", the BBC
Award 2008, the Prix Hector Berlioz, has been
nominated for the Grammy Award (USA) and
the Gramophone Award (UK). In 2000 Ton
Koopman received an Honorary Degree from
the Utrecht University for his academic
work on the Bach Cantatas and Passions
and has been awarded both the prestigious
15 October
Salzburger Bachgesellschaft
University Aula,
Salzburg,
Austria
Silver Phonograph Prize and the VSCD
Classical Music Award. In 2006 he has
received the « Bach-Medaille » from the
City of Leipzig.
Recently Ton Koopman has embarked on
another major project: the recording of the
complete works of Dietrich Buxtehude, one
of the great inspirers of the young Johann
Sebastian Bach. The recording will be
accomplished in 2010 with the release of
30 CDs. Ton Koopman is President of the
“International Dieterich Buxtehude Society”.
Ton Koopman is very active as a guest
conductor and he has collaborated with the
most prominent orchestras of Europe, USA
and Asia. Among them: Royal Concertgebouw
Amsterdam, Orchester des Bayerischen
Rundfunks in Munich, DSO Berlin, Tonhalle
Orchestra Zurich, Boston Symphony, Chicago
Symphony, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio
France, Cleveland Orchestra, Santa Cecilia in
Rome, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie and
Wiener Symphoniker.
Ton Koopman publishes regularly and for a
number of years he has been engaged in
editing the complete Handel Organ Concertos
for Breitkopf & Härtel. Recently he has
published Handel’s Messiah and Buxtehude‘s
Das Jüngeste Gericht for Carus.
Ton Koopman leads the class of harpsichord at
the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, is
Professor at the University of Leiden and is a
Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of
Music in London. He is also artistic director of
the French Festival “Itinéraire Baroque”.
