Aradia Ensemble

Canadian Baroque Music Ensemble

The Aradia Ensemble is a Toronto-based baroque ensemble that specializes in performing music from the 17th and 18th centuries on period instruments. Founded in 1996 by conductor and harpsichordist Kevin Mallon, the group has established itself as one of Canada's foremost early music ensembles. The Aradia Ensemble's repertoire ranges from well-known baroque masterpieces to lesser-known works deserving of wider recognition. They have received critical acclaim for their lively and expressive performances, which aim to recreate the sounds and styles of the era in which the music was originally composed.
