"I" Ensembles
Icarus Ensemble
- Director : none
- Year ensemble formed : 1991
- Description : The Icarus ensemble tries to balance flights of fantasy in its
highly improvisatory repertoire with knowledge grounded on renaissance and baroque
treatises on music-making. Performing either on original instruments or on
historically-accurate copies, the ensemble exploits a wide spectrum of tone colors,
particularly through the ever-changing combinations of the three accompanying instruments:
keyboard, lute and cello. The ensemble was a prize winner at the international Van
Wassenaer Competition for early music ensembles in 1993.
