Scherzi Musicali

Leader : Nicolas Achten
Year ensemble formed : 2000
Description : Named after Monteverdi’s books of secular music by the same title. Although sometimes enlarged to a small orchestra, the core of this ensemble performs vocal and instrumental chamber music around the plucked instruments of the lute family. Scherzi suggests a fresh, witty and playful note. The ensemble concentrates basically on 17th century Italian secular music, making excursions towards other genres and countries from the same period. Less known composers like Ferrari, Sances, Mazzochi are emphasized. The instruments used are copies of historical instruments and on the level of performance practice; research is done by all members. The ensemble members are (former) students of historically-informed performance practice pioneers such as the Kuijken brothers, Ph. Pierlot and Ph. Malfeyt.

La Simphonie du Marais

Director : Hugo Reyne (recorder)
Year ensemble formed : 1987 -- by Hugo Reyne
Description : La Simphonie du Marais has a special interest in 17th and 18th century French music. "Simphonie" in those days meant an instrumental group; the other half of the name of this Paris-based ensemble is that of one of the most beautiful areas of Paris, the Marais, which flourished in the baroque period. The group's repertoire is drawn mainly from French instrumental music (symphonies) from the baroque to the classical period by composers such as Lully, DeLalande, Philidor, Mouret, Rebel, Francoeur and Rameau, covering a century of musical development. The group also performs chamber music in smaller formations and is one of the few baroque ensembles to give concerts of true open-air music with oboes, drums, trumpets and tympani.

SIRINU

Director : none
Year ensemble formed : 1992
Description : The group takes its name from the Andean word for the treacherous water spirits that, as the source of all music and knowledge, both inspire and ensnare mortals with sounds of their springs and waterfalls. These beings represent not only the creation of fresh new life and animation, but also a link with the past and ancestors. In European mythology a similar universal idea surfaces in the tale of the Sirens, who lure sailors to their doom by the beauty of their singing. For the group, the name SlRINU symbolizes the convergence of different myths, cultures and ideas across history through the inspiration of music.Perform primarily music from the Middle Ages.

Spiritus Novus

Director : Naoki Ueo (harpsichord)
Leader : Penelope Spencer
Year ensemble formed : 1995 -- by Penelope Spencer, Naoki Ueo, and a group of graduates from the Early Music department of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague (Netherlands).
Description : The ensemble was originally conceived with the principal goal of researching and performing music from the 17th century South German School of violin virtuoso/composers around J.H. Schmelzer and H.I.F. Biber, and also lesser-known composers of the period such as the Dutch composer, C. Hacquart. Spiritus Novus (SN) has now expanded its repertory to include 18th century music, and performs regularly in flexible formations ranging from the trio (violin and harpsichord with viola da gamba) to a small baroque orchestra including woodwinds. The bulk of SNs repertory and research however, is still centered on the original theme of the 17th century German school of composers.

Director : Jankees Braaksma
Year ensemble formed : 1985
Description : Super Librum specializes in medieval and early renaissance music (ca. 1000 - 1500).

Instead of playing from a score, musicians would improvise on the basis of musical patterns previously agreed on.

The Symphony of Harmony And Invention

Director : Harry Christophers
Year ensemble formed : 1986 (originally named The Orchestra of the Sixteen) -- by Harry Christophers. In 1996, the orchestra was renamed The Symphony of Harmony And Invention.
