Biography

LES BORÉADES DE MONTRÉAL

Francis Colpron, recorder
Olivier Brault, violin
Mélisande Corriveau, viola da gamba
Mylène Bélanger, harpsichord

Specializing in the Baroque repertoire, the ensemble Les Boréades was founded in 1991 by Francis Colpron. His approach is a faithful period interpretation, both by respecting the rules of ancient practice and by using period instruments. Critics and audiences in Canada and abroad have unanimously praised the energy, spontaneity and the theatrical, expressive and elegant playing of the ensemble, qualities that testify to an intimate understanding of the spirit of Baroque music.

The ensemble has toured extensively, both in Quebec and abroad, and participated in several prestigious festivals. The ensemble has also performed at the Frick Collection in New York, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, at the Salle Gaveau in Paris, at the Vancouver Festival, at Musikfest Bremen and at Alter Musik Regensburg.

Les Boréades has also collaborated with internationally renowned musicians, including Hervé Niquet, director of the Concert Spirituel, Skip Sempé, harpsichordist and director of Capriccio Stravagante, violinist Manfred Kraemer, cornetist William Dongois, tenor Charles Daniels and Canadian singers Matthew White and Karina Gauvin. It also has a solid discography of twenty-five recordings distributed around the world to its credit. Les Boréades record on the Atma Classique label.
