I FURIOSI: Home
NOW IN ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY SEASON!
I FURIOSI Baroque Ensemble is one of the world's most innovative Baroque ensembles, comprised of four of Canada's leading early music specialists: soprano Gabrielle McLaughlin, violinists Aisslinn Nosky and Julia Wedman, and cellist/gambist Felix Deak.
For almost a decade, I FURIOSI's Toronto concert series has been revitalising 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. I FURIOSI's debut CD "Defiled is my (Middle) Name" (2005) continues to gain international recognition and acclaim. The group's new CD "CRAZY" (on the Dorian/Sono Luminus label) is available in stores now.

How is it possible that I FURIOSI has not done a concert in drag, you
ask? Well the costumes are in, the singing is high, the breasts are
false and the mustaches are hairy. Countertenor Matthew White joins
the ensemble for a survey of the extraordinary roles played by men and
women in a time of sexual permissiveness.
