Placing curiosity at the heart of its musical approach, the Ensemble Diderot embraces the legacy of the philosopher of the same name: open-mindedness, a thirst for discovery and humility in the face of knowledge.

Founded in 2009 around violinist Johannes Pramsohler, the Ensemble Diderot aims to rediscover and perform the repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries on period instruments. Its aim is to reveal the links forged between performers, composers, courts and schools in a baroque musical Europe without borders, and to advocate a contemporary sharing of this common cultural heritage.
