ARADIA ENSEMBLE

The Aradia Ensemble is one of the most exciting period instrument ensembles to emerge in recent years. Under the direction of Kevin Mallon, Aradia presents an innovative concert series at Toronto’s Glenn Gould Studio. Projects often include dancers, actors, singers or “esoteric” collaborations with for example Balinese gamelan or Irish musicians. Aradia has made music videos and film soundtracks (most recently appearing on the soundtrack for Jim Carey’s Yes Man) and (together with its sister organization, the Toronto Chamber Orchestra) has produced has produced some fifty recordings for Naxos. Many of these have won awards, including a Juno nomination and Gramophone magazine Editor’s Choice Awards. Tours have taken the ensemble across Canada and internationally to New Zealand, Italy and the United States. The Aradia Ensemble is the orchestra-in-residence for The Centre for Opera Studies in Italy. According to Robert Graves, Aradia was the daughter of Apollo’s twin sisters, who was sent by the gods to teach humankind to order the music of the natural world into song.
