Cohaere Ensemble brings back to life the instrumental works of an unfairly forgotten composer. The music of Pierre Gaultier de Marseille has accompanied the ensemble since it's earliest days. The precise, luminous performance of the Symphonies divisees par suites de tons, in the 1707 edition, gives this rare work a fresh and modern feel.

The musicians of El Gran Teatro del Mundo venture into the very heart of this German Baroque repertoire, deeply inspired by the French style typical of the reign of Louis XIV. This program offers the opportunity to discover, through the prism of orchestral scores reduced for chamber ensemble, the richness and passion of Lullists such as Muffat, Telemann or Fischer. Based in Basel (CH), El Gran Teatro del Mundo has performed all over Europe, amongst others at Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Festtage Alter Musik Basel, Musikinstrumentenmuseum Berlin, Musica Antica Urbino, Festival d'Ambronay, Centro Bot�n Santander or Riga Early Music Festival. The ensemble also was selected as one of the "Promising Young Ensembles" of the International Young Artist's Presentation (IYAP) at the Laus Poliphoniae Festival in Antwerp and won the prize for the best interpretation of Spanish music at the Ant�n Garc�a Abril Competition in Baza in 2017. In 2018 El Gran Teatro del Mundo was a beneficiary of the eeemerging project (Emerging European Ensembles) supporting young early music ensembles within the framework of the Creative Europe programme. In 2019 the ensemble won the "Cambridge Early Music Prize" at the Early Music Young Artists Competition in York (UK).

The young London-based Consone Quartet, a laureate of the ‘eeemerging programme,’ presents period-instrument performances of three major works of the string quartet repertory. On this release Joseph Haydn (op.77 no.1) and Felix Mendelssohn (opp.12 and 81) sound extraordinarily fresh and spontaneous from their bows. Formed at the Royal College of Music in 2012, the Consone Quartet focuses on exploring Classical and Early Romantic repertoire on period instruments. The winner of the Royal Over-Seas League Ensemble Prize in London, 2016, Consone was also awarded two prizes at York Early Music Competition 2015. Consone has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Brighton Early Music Festival, Buxton Festival, The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, and recently at Wigmore Hall. In addition to their concertizing, they have collaborated with several notable musicians including soprano Gillian Keith, flautist Ashley Soloman, and many more.

Passionate advocates of French music, Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas and Les Surprises tackle its intimate and spiritual side with M.-A. Charpentier and S. de Brossard. They share their vision of the Meditations for Lent, a masterpiece for three male voices and basso continuo. Founded in 2010 by Juliette Guignard and Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, the ensemble Les Surprises seeks to convey its passion for the music of the 17th and 18th centuries through varied and original programmes. In borrowing its name from the opéra-ballet by Jean-Philippe Rameau Les Surprises de l’Amour, the group has placed its destiny under the lucky star of this composer, with the aim of exploring operatic music in all its shapes and forms. The work of the ensemble is anchored in a process of musicological and historical research, indeed Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas wishes to highlight scores that have never been released since the 18th century, thanks to music libraries such as Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) or Bibliothèque de l’Opéra de Paris.

Les Esprits Animaux, a young, Netherlands based Baroque band founded in 2009, has already earned the acclaim of both music critics and audiences. This collection of chamber works by Telemann was built around the concept of a journey through literature in music.
