Les Amateurs

Baroque Orchestra for Amateur InstrumentalistsLes Amateurs des Passions

Idea

Baroque music fever has long since broken out in the UNESCO city of Berne!
Les Amateurs des Passions are adult amateur instrumentalists who share a passion for early music and historically informed performance practice and play and perform in the new baroque orchestra Les Amateurs des Passions.

Under the patronage of Les Passions de l'Âme and with the support of the professional instrumentalists of this orchestra, the Amateurs des Passions are offered the opportunity to cultivate their passion, to train and develop themselves in this field, and to present baroque treasures they have worked on to a wide audience in concerts.
Under the direction of violinist Meret Lüthi, the project orchestra Les Amateurs des Passions gathered for the first time in spring 2023 and studied a baroque programme based on J. S. Bach’s Overture in B minor; the soloist was Les Passions de l'Âme’s flutist Anne Parisot.

Our next project will take place in spring 2025.
The cast of the orchestra is already complete.
If you would like to keep up your skills on baroque instruments, we recommend the Académie des Passions.
