Ekseption was a Dutch progressive rock ensemble with changing membership, active from 1967 to 1989, growing out of the bands The Jokers and Incrowd.

The group started out playing pop and R'n'B covers. Impressed by a gig of The Nice, the members, of which the most famous is Rick van der Linden, decided to concentrate on producing 'classical rock', modern re-interpretations of classical works.

All of their albums contain both original songs and re-interpreted classical pieces.
