The Baroque Music Ensemble SEMPRE was founded in 2020 by harpsichordist Raluca Enea and brings together musicians specialized in the performance of early music. The repertoire primarily focuses on the 18th-century Baroque music, but the concert programs also include pieces from the 17th century and works from the period preceding the Classical era.

The ensemble members are dedicated to authenticity in performance, both in terms of musical style and the use of historically informed instruments (replicas of historical originals), as well as meticulous musicological research. These aspects allow for the exploration of original repertoire concepts. The musicians in the ensemble have specialized in early music at prestigious institutions across Europe and have over 20 years of experience in performing this genre.

The SEMPRE ensemble features a modular structure adaptable to various types of repertoire, ranging from chamber music settings such as duos or trios, to larger orchestral formats. Although relatively recent (2020), the ensemble has been active and has already participated in major national events, including the International George Enescu Festival, the Bucharest Early Music Festival, and the Miercurea-Ciuc Early Music Festival. SEMPRE collaborates with prominent baroque musicians, such as violinist Mira Glodeanu.

Upcoming projects for the ensemble include two collaborations with violinists Petra Müllejans and Martyna Pastuszka, as well as the completion of the audio album “Sempre Vivaldi.”

Recent productions by the ensemble include: “Sempre Vivaldi,” “Haendel vs Haendel,” “Les Caractères,” “Baroque Unknown,” “Sparkling Haendel,” “Bach by Night,” “To B or Not to B,” “Soli e Tutti,” “Sempervivum” (the last two projects were realized together with violinist Mira Glodeanu), and “Black and White: Vivaldi.”
