A High-Priz'd Noyse: English and French Renaissance Music for Violin Band
The King's Noyse brings the Renaissance alive! This violin band - the most popular of Renaissance ensembles - brings into the 21st century spirited programs of fantasias and dances from 16th and 17th century Europe. The music is brilliantly fresh, expressive & irresistible!
Back by popular demand! Chapel, Court & Countryside welcomes The King's Noyse to open the season with a program featuring "The Golden Age of the Violin Band: The Entertainment of Kings."

Ensemble for Baroque Music
Named after the innovative French Baroque composer, Jean-Fery Rebel, the acclaimed ensemble REBEL has earned international acclaim. Since its founding in 1991, REBEL concertizes at prestigious venues, has created an impressive discography, and is frequently heard on radio in the US and Europe.
A Cleveland favorite, REBEL offers "Beyond the Horizon: Chamber Music of the Late Baroque and Roccoco," a fanciful program of forward-looking 18th-century music in the manneristic, affecting "galante" style. Works by Mancini, Gluck, Quantz, and C.P.E. Bach.
