Serbian baroque music is a unique artistic project that presents collaboration between music ensemble Belgrade Baroque and contemporary Serbian composers. It is the first project in Serbia that initiates music creation for an ensemble devoted to the historically-informed performance practice. World premiere of Serbian baroque music was performed in Belgrade in November 2016. Since, project was presented in Serbia and abroad with the support of SOKOJ - Serbian Music Authors Organization, Serbian Ministry of Culture and Information and the City of Belgrade Secretary of Culture, with continued commissioning of new pieces and studio recording sessions.

Belgrade Baroque ensemble successfully promotes baroque chamber music repertoire for a number of years, and seeks to contribute to a wider recognition of baroque music being performed on period instruments, according to the specific understanding of musical style. Through Serbian baroque music, ensemble strives to continuously ‘rediscover’ baroque instruments as unusually different, and certainly not of a lesser value in comparison to what is called ‘modern’ instruments. Next to the research of contemporary expression through that ‘old’, but yet thoroughly uninvestigated musical medium, in a way, Belgrade Baroque is starting to ‘fill the gap’ in the national musical repertoire. Caused by the Ottoman occupation that lasted from the beginning of the 15th to the mid 19th Century, the lack of baroque époque in Serbian music might be one of the important matters that still impede the identification of Serbian public with the West European artistic music and its values. In that sense, besides creation of new music inspired by the baroque art, styles, instruments and ensemble, Serbian baroque music enables an uncommon and highly positive juncture of the national and the European. Additionally, activities on the project also provide the opportunity for the public to get in touch with the composers and the ensemble, who in combination present a special kind of rarity from the Balkan region.
