Luthers Bach Ensemble

The Luthers Bach Ensemble was founded in 2006 from a desire to perform more Bach cantatas using historically informed performance practice. 

The repertoire was soon expanded to include works ranging from Monteverdi to Mozart. The LBE choir is a tightly-knit group of around twenty (semi-)professional singers who perform many concerts per year in the Netherlands and abroad. 

Since its foundation, LBE has had a professional Baroque orchestra, built around a core of exceptional instrumentalists and vocal soloists. Its artistic director is Tymen Jan Bronda. 
The LBE aims to involve the audience in the emotional richness and intense drama of Baroque music, for example through theatrical performances. This is consistent with the views from the time of Bach that music can give emotional insight into the essential aspects of life. The LBE is based in the Lutheran Church in Groningen.
