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] Latin: Alta ripa means in Latin "high riverbank." Similarly, hanover comes from Old German German, Old High (ca.750-1050);: honovere, also meaning "high riverbank."[8]
