Musica Alta Ripa is a musical ensemble from Hanover, specializing in Baroque music on period instruments.

Background

Founded in 1984, the Hanover-based Musica Alta Ripa is well known for its historically-informed musical performances. The ensemble has won four ECHO Klassik prizes, the Cannes Classical Awards, as well as the 2002 Musikpreis Niedersachsen.[1] A particular focus for the group is the work of Georg Philipp Telemann, whose chamber music they have recorded several discs of.[2][3][4][5] The group is also well known for their efforts to strengthen ties between Syrian refugees and locals.[6]

The ensemble's name comes from the city in which they are based, Hanover.[7] Alta ripa means in Latin "high riverbank." Similarly, hanover comes from Old German honovere, also meaning "high riverbank."[8]
