DIMITRIS  KARAKANTAS

       The baroque orchestra „nuovo barocco“ was founded in Vienna by Greek violinist Dimitris Karakantas and Hungarian baroque oboist Bettina Simon. The young baroque orchestra finds its roots in the bigger family of the “Orchester 1756” from Salzburg/Vienna, an orchestra also led by Dimitris Karakantas. The young, international musicians of “nuovo barocco”, having performed in some of the most important baroque festivals and venues and worked with some of the greatest soloists of our days are searching for a new, fresh, modern interpretation of baroque music in this smaller, vivid group.
