Bourgie Hall presents

La Fonte Musica – Enigma Fortuna

For their first appearance in Montreal, the ensemble La Fonte Musica presents the visionary composer Zacara da Teramo, who truly bridged the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in works where vitality, exuberance, and eccentricity all come together.

La fonte musica is an early music ensemble on period instruments, founded and led by Michele Pasotti. The ensemble was founded to interpret the astonishing musical season which goes from the end of the middle ages to the beginning of the humanism, with a particular focus on Italian Trecento. Their repertoire and research stretches until the end of Renaissance.

The ensemble has performed in the most prestigious early music festivals around Europe: Oude Muziek (Utrecht), Resonanzen (Konzerthaus, Vienna), MA Festival Bruges, Ravenna Festival, Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, Laus Polyphoniae Antwerpen, Regensburg Tage Alte Musik, Wratislavia Cantans (Wroclaw), Herne Tage Alter Musik, Concerts Medieval du Musée de Cluny (Paris), Urbino Musica Antica, Festival Voix et Route Romane, Festival de Lanvellec, Musica Sacra Maastricht, Konzertsaal der Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna), Festival Trigonale (Klagenfurt), Festival Povoa de Varzim, Festival Bachowski (Swidniça), Teatro la Fenice (Venise), Festival MiTo (Milan-Turin), Venetian Center for Baroque Music (Venise), Vespri in San Maurizio (Milan), Brighton Early Music Festival.
