To present the most varied interpretation possible of music from the Baroque period, Combattimento frequently seeks collaboration with top soloists as Liza Ferschtman, Maarten Koningberger and Gordan Nikolic. The ensemble also works together with other well-established creative companies in the Netherlands such as the Scapino Ballet Rotterdam and the Nationale Reisopera.
