Ensemble Caprice is renowned for its innovative interpretations of baroque music. Originally formed in Germany in 1989 and now based in Montreal, 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 Early Music Rencontres in Heidelberg. In May of this year, the ensemble performed at the Internationale H‰ndel-Festspiele in Gˆttingen. In 2005, Ensemble Caprice made its U.S. debut in the Boston Early Music Festival concert series and has subsequently appeared in many parts of the United States, with additional tours of Israel and Taiwan. Closer to home in Canada, the ensemble has its own concert series at Redpath Hall in Montreal and, during 2008, gave performances at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, the Elora Festival and the Domaine Forget’s International Festival.
