Nederlands Besides the orchestras, some small groups of musicians have come together to play in an ensemble. These ensembles usually consist of about 4-7 members. Once a year, ensembles have the opportunity to perform at an ensemble concert. Below you can read more about the specific quadrivium ensembles.
If you want to lighten up your event with just a touch of classical music, ESMG Quadrivium has the solution for you. Our several ensembles are available for hire for conferences, receptions, parties and anything else that requires beautiful music to be played. Email to ensembles@esmgquadrivium.nl to see if we can do anything for you. Please report an event at least one month in advance due to the availability of our ensembles.
BaroQue
The BaroQue ensemble is Quadrivium’s ensemble that is specialized in playing and performing baroque music. The ensemble was formed when different players in the orchestra realized they had a common interest to play baroque music. The baroque ensemble consists of a core group of players however, often guest players are invited to play along for a concert since often extra instruments are required to play the baroque style pieces. Previous performances included works by Rebel, Telemann and Dall’Abaco.
EIGEN QUARTET
Eigen Quartet, formed in the summer of 2026, brings together Bartek (violin), Maarten (violin), Charles (viola) and Ruben (cello) in a new musical setting. Even though the four of them had already played together in larger ensembles (Philips Symfonie Orkest, ESMG Quadrivium’s Ensuite), it wasn’t until a year ago that they got together to perform at the master graduation ceremony at TU/e. What started as occasional rehearsals for a university commission, turned into regular collaboration around an increasingly challenging programme. The name Eigen reflects the quartet’s shared connection to both music and science: in Dutch, eigen means “one’s own,” while in mathematics and acoustics, eigenmodes describe the natural ways in which a system vibrates - a fitting reference to four musicians developing a sound of their own (and to their technical background).
Vokoladies
The Vokoladies is an all-female vocal ensemble comprised of six distinct voices. The ensemble first performed together during an ensemble day organised by ESMG Quadrivium, where they sang several pieces by the Chordettes. Having thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the ensemble has continued to rehearse together ever since, expanding their increasingly varied repertoire. The Vokoladies often perform together during the musical open nights organised by ESMG Quadrivium.
