Amazonas Baroque Ensemble - ABE is a period instruments group based on Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil. Its members join themselves in Amazonas State University as music and musicology teachers and former students. Their aims included restoration of ancient Brazilian and Portuguese repertory, in a historically inspired approaching. Many of them joined musicological research and practical performance projects sponsored by local and federal government agencies, such as Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Amazonas, Petrobrás, Eletrobrás, among others. At this moment ABE performed in many Brazilian and European cities, including festivals (opera, sacred music) and stage productions.^[1]
