I FURIOSI: Home

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. The ensemble has just returned from conquering both Germany and the United Kingdom, and in addition to the Toronto concert series, the 2007/2008 season will see I FURIOSI engaged at prestigious festivals in Canada, the UK and further afield. I FURIOSI's debut CD "Defiled is my (Middle) Name" (2005) continues to gain international recognition and acclaim.
