Cancelled – Philippe Jaroussky: La Gelosia

Due to complications associated with the securing of the appropriate work visas for their US concerts, the Ensemble must postpone their North American tour.  Despite extraordinary efforts, the Ensemble’s application has been continuously delayed, and Mr. Jaroussky’s Paris-based management team has now determined that the proper paperwork will not be secured in time for their scheduled tour.

Baroque ensemble Gli Incogniti, headed by French violinist Amandine Beyer, brings a programme exploring the works of notable Italian violinist Nicola Matteis (1650-1713), whose life and compositions are steeped in the unknown. Active in London, Matteis published several well-received collections of inventive and evocative violin and chamber music before fading into obscurity – Beyer brings Matteis out of the archives and breathes new life into his music in the concert hall.

Amour Courtois: Medieval Meets Jazz
Early Music Vancouver

Amour Courtois: Medieval Meets Jazz

Amour Courtois is a bold and evocative musical project led by French jazz pianist Baptiste Bailly, reimagining 14th-century French songs through the lens of contemporary improvisation. Inspired by the enduring emotional resonance of medieval melodies, Bailly collaborates with Matthew Baker on the baryton and Efren López on the hurdy-gurdy and ouds, crafting an anachronistic yet striking soundscape. Their repertoire – featuring works by Machaut, Binchois, and Lescurel – bridges centuries and highlights the timelessness of human expression.
