微光巴洛克樂團由旅歐美的臺灣古樂演奏家所組成，以完整的歷史樂器編制演出，是臺灣少數專注於十八世紀巴洛克至古典時期室內樂與管弦樂作品的專業古樂團。
歐洲成熟的古樂教育環境孕育了許多來自臺灣的優秀演奏家，他們近年以獨奏家、首席或核心團員的身分活躍於國際古樂舞台，在布魯日、泰勒曼、馬里尼等古樂大賽獲獎，並受邀於國際古樂唱片廠牌錄製專輯，展現臺灣古樂的新世代實力。
微光巴洛克樂團秉持歷史音樂學的精神，以文獻研究、古樂器學、風格考據與演奏法為基礎，追求回到作品誕生時的聲響與語法，重現巴洛克音樂的修辭、情感與美學景深。
樂團擅長演繹各類大型巴洛克曲目，包括協奏曲、 韓德爾歌劇與神劇、巴赫清唱劇、韋瓦第〈光榮頌〉、彌撒曲以及十八世紀各類協奏曲與器樂作品，並以歷史編制的管弦樂規模呈現原汁原味的古樂風貌。

The Gleam Baroque Orchestra
The Gleam Baroque Orchestra is formed by Taiwanese Early Music specialists active across Europe and North America, performing on full period-instrument Baroque and Classical orchestral forces. It is one of Taiwan’s few professional ensembles dedicated to historically informed performances of eighteenth-century chamber and orchestral repertoire.
Europe’s thriving Early Music environment has nurtured many outstanding Taiwanese musicians, who now appear internationally as soloists, concertmasters, and principal players. Members of the orchestra have received prizes at major competitions—including the Bruges International Competition, the Telemann Competition, and the Biagio Marini Competition—and have recorded for leading Early Music labels, marking a new generation of Taiwanese presence on the global Early Music stage.
Guided by a commitment to historical musicology, the Gleam Baroque Orchestra grounds its work in primary-source research, organology, stylistic study, and period performance practice. The ensemble seeks to restore the sound worlds, rhetoric, and expressive depth of Baroque music as they might have been understood at the time of their creation.
The orchestra specializes in a wide range of large-scale Baroque repertoire, including concertos, Handel operas and oratorios, Bach cantatas, Classical-era masses, and eighteenth-century orchestral and instrumental works. Its performances employ historically appropriate orchestral forces to recreate the vivid sonorities and textures of early eighteenth-century music.
To cultivate a robust and high-level Baroque orchestral environment in Taiwan, the ensemble also operates the Gleam Historical Performance Workshops, offering training in Baroque technique and high-level coaching for emerging Baroque string players—an effort aimed at building a truly Taiwan-rooted, historically informed Baroque orchestra.
Today, the Gleam Baroque Orchestra has become the principal professional platform for Taiwanese Baroque musicians returning from Europe, dedicated to presenting the beauty of Baroque music through an authentic historical lens and to advancing the development of Early Music in Taiwan within an international context.
