Discover a new musical world! |

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the musical dialogue between the Old and the New Worlds produced extraordinary results. This fascinating blend of European polyphony and Latin American traditional music created a unique style. Gems from this spectacular musical era will be performed on instruments that were common at the time: flutes and recorders, baroque guitar, violoncello and various percussion instruments. |

The Gypsy Cycle |
|
| Available programs: |
|
|
|
| A unique program featuring pieces taken from Uhrovska zbierka, a collection from the country now known as Slovakia, and works by composers who were influenced by the gypsy music they heard while travelling throughout Europe. Much baroque music draws its inspiration from the gypsy music that made its way up through social circles as far as the nobility. These pieces reflect the fascination the composers felt for the music of these nomads. Capturing the spirit of the times, this lively program portrays fascinating parallels between gypsy music and Vivaldi, Telemann and their contemporaries. | |
| This program of Gypsy and baroque music has enjoyed extraordinary popularity. Ensemble Caprice has performed it in England at the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque music, at the Boston Early Music Festival, the Frick Collection and the Miller Theater in New York, at the Library of Congress in Washington, in Chicago and Pittsburgh; in Halle, Regensburg, Heidenheim and Mainz in Germany; in Canada at the Domaine Forget and at the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. | |

Antonio Vivaldi |
The Return of the Angels |
| This concert is the much anticipated sequel to Gloria! Vivaldi’s Angels, the CD of which won a JUNO Award in 2009. | |
 |
For nearly 40 years in the service of the Ospedale della Pieta in Venice, an orphanage where boys were not admitted, Vivaldi taught innumerable young girls the art of singing. These women’s choruses were meant to evoke the splendour of music in Paradise. These angels were not merely celestial, they also perfectly mastered the difficult techniques in the works of their master. The Return of the Angels offers you the chance to hear music by the great red priest sung by a women’s chorus accompanied by an orchestra. |
