The viol consort Les Escapades takes the listener on a journey through a wondrous night with it's dreams and visions. In the mild light of the moon; thoughts fly and we meet dream creatures and fairies in the nocturnal entourage from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Music from the Baroque; Classical; Romantic and Impressionist periods will be heard; some of which the ensemble has arranged especially for itself. For example; Gabriel FaurÃ©'s famous "AprÃ¨s un rÃªve" or Claude Debussy's "RÃªverie" are performed in a completely new and unusual sound; played on the delicate gut strings of a baroque viol consort.
