Abchordis Ensemble is a Swiss ensemble and association based in Basel-Stadt, bringing together talented musicians who trained at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.

Since its foundation in 2012, Abchordis has been dedicated to in-depth musicological research discovering masterpieces of Baroque music that have been forgotten in our time.

The ensemble’s name derives from two Latin expressions: “Ab corde” (from the heart) and “Ex chordis” (from the strings), symbolizing its dual inspiration — the heartfelt expression of music and the rich textures created by string instruments. This duality reflects its artistic philosophy, bridging emotional depth with technical excellence.
