Explore the contrasting textures and colours of the ensemble's instrumentation, which includes horn, flute, bassoon, and strings led by British Baroque violin virtuoso Kati Debretzeni. One of the UK's most sought-after musicians, Debretzeni leads John Eliot Gardiner's English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and has recorded for numerous labels as a soloist, leader, and chamber musician. She features as soloist on two versions of Bach's Brandenburg concertos: first with the European Brandenburg Ensemble under Trevor Pinnock (Gramophone Award winner, 2008), and again with the English Baroque Soloists.=0D=0A=

Now in its third season, the Victoria Baroque Players has established itself as one of the finest Early Music ensembles in Western Canada, drawing on talent from Victoria, Vancouver, and Seattle to present concerts that are informed, lively, entertaining, and full of depth. Since its formation, the ensemble has performed two seasons at its home venue, the Church of St. John the Divine in Victoria, as well as appearing as guest ensemble at numerous concerts and festivals around the Pacific Northwest.=0D=0A=
