Ensemble Caprice and ArtChoral: From the Shadow of de Profundis to the Light of Beethoven

Interview by Alexandre Villemaire

Additional Information

It’s a concert of contrasts that Ensemble Caprice, in collaboration with Ensemble ArtChoral, will be offering music lovers in Montreal and Quebec City on February 14 and 16. Matthias Maute has concocted a program that combines early music, folk music and contemporary music, with his renowned concern for programming and his desire to weave links between eras and musical styles, both for the instrumental repertoire and for the choirs. This areopagus of works will evolve towards Beethoven’s mythical Ninth Symphony, which, according to the conductor and artistic director, will be the first time the work has been presented in Montreal on period instruments. PAN M 360’s Alexandre Villemaire spoke to Matthias Maute about this concert, as well as the other discographic projects that punctuate ArtChoral’s season and are linked to its identity.
