Founded in 2023, the Capriccio Consort revives an entire facet of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music through works for voice and instruments, as well as purely instrumental pieces, in the spirit of freedom, diversity, and creativity that animated the musicians of that era. At the same time, it also embraces repertoire from the nineteenth century to the present day.

It pays homage to Johann Sebastian Bach and to several of his contemporaries — Handel, Heinichen, Purcell, Telemann, and Vivaldi — as well as others such as Keiser and Zelenka.
Whether sacred or secular, the Capriccio Consort, committed to rigorous work and to the broadest possible musical dialogue, seeks to express the colors and emotions that characterized the musical sensibility of the Baroque period, using original scores written for voice, oboe, oboe d’amore or English horn, and basso continuo (organ and/or harpsichord; cello or viola da gamba; modern or Baroque bassoon).

The Capriccio Consort may expand its lineup with additional instruments and/or voices to form a small ensemble, depending on the repertoire being performed.
