Pentaèdre has performed in Canada, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
Interpretation
For Bach's solo violin works, the performers aim to create a single sonic identity, merging the five instruments into one 'meta-instrument' despite their distinctive timbres.
Recording & Production
Pentaèdre has recorded nearly ten albums under the ATMA label, including a chamber version of Schubert's Winterreise which won the OPUS Prize in 2008.
Performer Biography
Pentaèdre has collaborated with renowned musicians such as tenors Christoph Prégardien and Rufus Muller, and pianists Naida Cole and Charles Richard-Hamelin.
Interpretation
The ensemble's approach to Bach's organ works is to match the varied timbres of the organ to the wind quintet's instruments, offering a new perspective on fugues usually played by a single instrumentalist.
Performer Biography
Pentaèdre, a unique ensemble in Quebec's musical landscape, was founded in 1985 and is known for its exploration of varied chamber music repertoire for wind instruments.
Instruments
Flutist Ariane Brisson plays on a Yamaha grenadilla wood flute and a Powell 10K flute, the latter on loan from Canimex Inc. and owned by patron Roger Dubois.
