Concerto de Bassus is an international ensemble engaging young musicians keen to play music from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries according to period performance practice in various orchestrations. It was founded in 2014 by violinist Theona Gubba-Chkheidze together with organist and conductor Franz Hauk. The ensemble recruits both professors and outstanding graduates of the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, and also realises large symphonic orchestrations. The group takes its name from the bass, the fundamental element of Baroque music.
