The musicians of El Gran Teatro del Mundo venture into the very heart of this German Baroque repertoire, deeply inspired by the French style typical of the reign of Louis XIV. This program offers the opportunity to discover, through the prism of orchestral scores reduced for chamber ensemble, the richness and passion of Lullists such as Muffat, Telemann or Fischer. Based in Basel (CH), El Gran Teatro del Mundo has performed all over Europe, amongst others at Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Festtage Alter Musik Basel, Musikinstrumentenmuseum Berlin, Musica Antica Urbino, Festival d'Ambronay, Centro Botìn Santander or Riga Early Music Festival. The ensemble also was selected as one of the "Promising Young Ensembles" of the International Young Artist's Presentation (IYAP) at the Laus Poliphoniae Festival in Antwerp and won the prize for the best interpretation of Spanish music at the Antón García Abril Competition in Baza in 2017. In 2018 El Gran Teatro del Mundo was a beneficiary of the eeemerging project (Emerging European Ensembles) supporting young early music ensembles within the framework of the Creative Europe programme. In 2019 the ensemble won the "Cambridge Early Music Prize" at the Early Music Young Artists Competition in York (UK).
