I FURIOSI Baroque Ensemble

2007- 2008 MEMBER PROFILES
 

I FURIOSI Baroque Ensemble is one of the world’s most innovative Baroque ensemble, comprised of four of Canada’s leading early music specialists: soprano Gabrielle McLaughlin, violinists Aisslinn Nosky and Julia Wedman, and cellist/gambist Felix Deak. These four daring musicians bring their skill and expertise to this edgy new voice in the early music world.
 
 For almost a decade, I FURIOSI’s Toronto concert series has been revitalizing the face of early music in Canada, inspired by the practice of the Baroque era while invoking the “bizarre and unnatural” aesthetic both cherished and despised in its time. Intelligent and inspired programming in addition to a captivating performance style has garnered this group a reputation as a revolutionary force in the Canadian and international early music scene.
 
In addition to their Toronto concert series, the 2007 -2008 season will see I FURIOSI engaged at prestigious festivals in Canada, the US and abroad. I FURIOSI’s debut CD “Defiled is my (Middle) Name” (2005) continues to gain international recognition and acclaim.
