The orchestra l'arte del mondo, founded in 2004 by its artistic director Werner Ehrhardt, sees itself in the tradition of so-called early music on historical instruments, but is also dedicated to modern instruments and a repertoire that extends to contemporary music.
A trademark of l'arte del mondo is its innovative programs, e.g. musical-intercultural projects with the Turkish Pera Ensemble or artists from the Peking Opera. With Daniel Hope and "The Four Seasons Recomposed", Max Richter's sensational new interpretation of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", l'arte del mondo has performed all over the world. Another highlight in 2017 was the sensationally danced "St. Matthew Passion 2727" with the Israeli Kamea Dance Company, which was performed in both Germany and Israel.
In recent years, l'arte del mondo has performed concerts, passions and operas in the most prestigious international venues and festivals in Europe and South America.
Among the 40 or so award-winning recordings by l'arte del mondo on the Sony label are Salier, Schmittbauer, Gazzaniga, Kayser/Goethe operas, Bach oboe concertos and many more.
