Ensemble Labyrinthes is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2012 by a group of young musicians who shared a passion for early music. The ensemble is based in France and is known for its innovative and dynamic performances of music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The founding members of Ensemble Labyrinthes were flutist Marine Sablonnière, harpsichordist Benjamin Alard, and viola da gamba player Ronan Kernoa. They were later joined by violinist Thibault Roussel and soprano Eugénie Lefebvre. All of the members of the ensemble are highly trained musicians who have studied at some of the most prestigious music schools in France and Europe. Ensemble Labyrinthes has quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional musicianship and its ability to bring new life to early music. The ensemble's performances are characterized by their energy, precision, and attention to detail. They are known for their innovative interpretations of early music, which often incorporate elements of improvisation and experimentation. One of the highlights of Ensemble Labyrinthes' career was their performance at the Festival de Saintes in 2014. The festival is one of the most prestigious early music festivals in Europe, and the ensemble's performance was widely praised for its virtuosity and musicality. The ensemble has also performed at other major festivals and concert halls throughout Europe, including the Festival d'Ambronay, the Festival de Sablé, and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In addition to their live performances, Ensemble Labyrinthes has also released several critically acclaimed recordings. Their debut album, "Labyrinthes," was released in 2014 and features music by composers such as Marin Marais, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Georg Philipp Telemann. The album was praised for its "exquisite musicianship" and "sensitive interpretations." Ensemble Labyrinthes has received numerous awards and accolades for their work. In 2015, they were awarded the Prix des Radios Francophones Publiques for their album "Labyrinthes." The award recognizes the best classical music recording by a French-speaking artist or ensemble. The ensemble has also been nominated for several other awards, including the Victoires de la Musique Classique and the International Classical Music Awards. Despite their success, Ensemble Labyrinthes remains committed to exploring new avenues in early music and pushing the boundaries of the genre. They continue to collaborate with other musicians and artists, and to seek out new and innovative ways to bring early music to audiences around the world.
