ATMA Classique, Ensemble ArtChoral and Mecenat Musica are proud to present Art Choral Vol.2 : Baroque I with Ensemble ArtChoral under the direction of Matthias Maute.

Volume 2 surveys choral repertoire by late Renaissance and early Baroque masters such as Claudio Monteverdi, Carlo Gesulado (Italy), Gaspar Fernandes (Portugal), Heinrich Schütz, Hans Leo Hassler (Germany) and Henry Purcell (England) - composers whose music reflects the flowering of vocal polyphony in pre-baroque Europe.

The ART CHORAL series is a unique and ambitious project surveying the history of choral singing over six centuries, from the Renaissance to the present day. Consisting of 15 volumes, the series will roll out over seven years and will feature works by 70 composers from the 16th to the 21st centuries.

Ensemble ArtChoral (formerly Ensemble vocal Arts-Quebec) is a professional choir whose mission is to present the great tradition of choral singing in Quebec, Canada, and abroad.
