Les Escapades

Les Escapades from Karlsruhe is a German ensemble for early music established in 2000. The four viola da gamba players, Sabine Kreutzberger, Franziska Finckh, Adina Scheyhing and Barbara Pfeifer, studied in The Hague, Basel and Trossingen. They play in the instrumentation as pure Gambenconsort or in cooperation with other artists or choirs. The name of the ensemble promises unexpected access to the musical world of Renaissance and Baroque music.

This includes the classical English consort of instruments of the 16th and 17th centuries.[1] works and arrangements of Spanish music by the Siglo de Oro[2] or numerous German sacred works,[3][4] including participation in performances of Dietrich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri.
