Ensemble Chaconne

Praised by MusicWeb International for “vitality and character…style and verve,” Ensemble Chaconne is a period-instrument trio devoted to vivid, historically-informed performance of music from the 16th through the 18th centuries.  Since 1985, the group (Peter H. Bloom, flutes; Carol Lewis, viole da gamba; and Olav Chris Henriksen, lutes and guitars) has concertized widely.  The ensemble tours the U.S., Canada and Europe, with recent appearances at the National Gallery in London, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Residency at Davidson College, The Bach Festival of Winter Park Florida, Connecticut Early Music Festival, Atlanta’s famed Spivey Hall, the Yale Center for British Art, and the 30th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum, to name a few.  Noted guest artists include Pamela Dellal, Anne Azéma and the Ken Pierce Baroque Dance Company.  A member of Early Music America’s North American Touring Roster, the New England States Touring Roster and the South Carolina Artists in Education Roster, Ensemble Chaconne is managed by Americas Musicworks and records on the Americas Musicworks label.
