| Les Voix humaines Consort of Viols |
Since 2001, the duo is regularly joined by some of Montreal's finest young gambists to form the Voix Humaines Consort of viols specializing in the vast 17th-century repertoire for viol consort.
The regular quartet consists of Margaret Little, Mélisande Corriveau, Elin Söderström and Susie Napper. They have many concert programs available including «Lachrimae, or Seven Teares» by Dowland, and an English-Spanish program, «Doulce Mémoire», featuring music of the time of the great Armada. In 2008 they recorded Henry Purcell"s complete fantasias for viols and are touring with this program across Canada in 2009.
Upcoming projects include J.S. Bach’s Art of the Fugue and a colorful Italian program full of diminutions and dances.
The Voix humaines Consort of Viols is the only permanent viol consort in Canada.
