OBNI (Objeto Barroco No Identificado)

“A highly recommended abduction. Few ensembles emerge with such force, brilliance and determination as this one. Behind its peculiar name, it harbours a torrential passion for the works of Bach and Vivaldi. Since its debut at the Festival International de Arte Sacro, the ensemble has garnered outstanding acclaim, promising a future firmly established on the leading early music circuits.” (Carlos García Reche, Melómano)
 
OBNI (Objeto Barroco No Identificado) was founded at the initiative of Miriam Hontana to give free rein to her passion for the extraordinary violin repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries. OBNI made its debut in 2021 and has since been constantly active in Spain and Europe. In its short career, OBNI has already performed at festivals such as the Festival Internacional de Arte Sacro in Madrid, Musika-Música in Bilbao, and the Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik. In 2023, OBNI recorded its first album, featuring concertos for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi as well as other concertos by both composers and a performance of the Ciaccona for solo violin. The album has been met with high praise from both audiences and critics.
 
The members of OBNI have performed in more than 30 countries, in many of the world’s finest concert halls, and collaborate with some of Europe’s most renowned early music ensembles. They are united by their shared passion for great repertoire, which is why their programmes revolve around composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Joseph Haydn.
