D!ssonanti
Since 2005, D!ssonanti (formerly known as the Accademia dei Dissonanti) has been bringing together old warhorses of early music, each an authority in his or her own field, some of them stalwarts of the most prestigious orchestras (Les Arts Florissants, Pygmalion, Freiburger Barockorchester, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Concerto Copenhagen, etc.). Despite the decades spent touring all over Europe and teaching at some of the greatest conservatoires (Paris, Brussels, The Hague, etc.) their delight at playing together is undiminished, be it original music written for their instruments or the transcriptions they have made their speciality. From Charpentier to Vivaldi and Telemann – with Bach as the common thread – their concerts have taken them to France, the Netherlands and Denmark, to major city halls and small country churches, spreading the infectious joy of making music.
