ARTISTOCRATS

The Artistocrats is a new and fresh formation in the Hungarian early music life. The group is an enlarged version of Marquise Ensemble, which transformation enables us to play an even broader and more colorful repertoire.

 

We have been united  the best Hungarian early music musicians:

Judit Felszeghy - soprano  

Laszlo Blaskovics - male soprano

Katalin Kallay - recorders

Andrea Molnar  - recorders

Piroska Vitarius - violin

Agnes Kallay - cello

Zsolt Szabo - viola da gambas

Istvan Gyori  - lute and baroque guitar

Marta Gal - harpsichord

and other instrumentalists, such as : drum, harp etc. 

​

​

The Artistocrats aspire for: free and stylistic improvisation, freedom in musical expression, showing sparkling solistic colours in the frame of well-balanced chamber music.

Our programs include not only high Baroque pieces, but also music from the 16-17th century, performed in a free and improvisational style. Our further goal is to perform early music pieces from the Western European repertoire and also to research and play hidden gems of the Middle-European early music.
