proach to the repertoire. JUNO Award winner in 2009 for their Vi-

valdi’s Angels recording, The New York Times wrote “The ensemble

has established itself as an immensely thoughtful and progressive

force on the musical scene”. Critic Alex Ross of The New Yorker picked

engage the audience in an unusual way.

Five musicians, eight short anecdotes, nine roses, two centuries of

wonderful music from five countries by composers like J.S. Bach,

A. Vivaldi, H. Purcell and others; all these make for a program full

of drama, tenderness, joy, humour and melancholy (5 musicians :

2 flutes, cello, guitar and percussion).
