Rete Iuvenum Baroccum

We are a community for early music and baroque culture, for people aged 18 to 35. Founded in Munich in 2026, we go to concerts and operas together all over Europe.

What we do

Concerts and operas

We attend the outstanding early-music performances of the season together, from a single evening to a trip of several days.

Vesper
One evening: a concert with an introduction beforehand and dinner afterwards.
Dies
A full day, usually with two programme items.
Iter
A trip of several days: a festival weekend, or two operas in another city.

Iter and Dies usually take us to the top events of the early-music scene.

Artist talks

We meet the people on stage. In conversations with singers, conductors and instrumentalists we hear how a performance comes together and what the music means to those who make it.

Cultural education

Every visit begins with an introduction to the work, its history and the way it is performed. Beyond the concert hall we explore the wider baroque world: historic instrument collections, baroque architecture and the stories behind the music.
