Les Delices

Les Delices is quickly establishing its reputation for polished, expressive, and dynamic performances of masterpieces and little-known works from the French Baroque. Founded by baroque oboist Debra Nagy, Les Delices is comprised of some of the nations top early music specialists, each with notable careers as soloists, chamber musicians, and teachers. Their performances on period instruments at low, French chamber pitch allows them to explore the rich tapestry of tone colors available in this repertoire, and the group's name conveys their approach to the music of this era: a delight, a fine delicacy, sumptuous, and exciting. Audience members have called their performances exquisite, superb, and breathtakingly gorgeous, while the Cleveland Plain Dealer has lauded the ensembles rhythmic buoyancy, suave phrasing and seamless interplay.
