Based in Montreal, Ensemble Caprice, under the artistic direction of
Matthias Maute and Sophie Larivière, is renowned for its innovative
interpretations of baroque music. Originally formed in Germany in 1986,
the ensemble continues to give concerts in Europe and has appeared at
the Vlaanderen Festival in Bruges, Belgium, the Netwerk-Reihe of the
Organisatie voor Oude Muziek in The Netherlands, the International
Recorder Symposium in Stuttgart, the Recorder Festival in Stockstadt,
and the Ancient Music Rencontres in Heidelberg. During 2005, the
ensemble made its U.S. debut at the Boston Early Music Festival concert
series and recently completed a successful tour of the West Coast and
New England. The ensemble will tour Israel in the Fall of 2006 and plans
are underway for a visit to Japan in 2007. Closer to home in Canada, the
ensemble has its own concert series at Redpath Hall in Montreal and was
recently nominated for the Conseil Québécois de la Musique's prestigious
Prix Opus award in three different categories, including best early
music concert and CD. A new recording featuring the music of Fux,
Caldera and Badia will be released on the ATMA Classique label during
2006
