The Kingsbury Ensemble is one of the Midwest’s premier professional early music groups. Formed in 1999 under the artistic direction of Maryse Carlin, the Ensemble performs exclusively on period instruments, combining respect for historical style and scholarship with exciting musicianship and flair. The Kingsbury Ensemble is renowned for the scope of its offerings, having presented everything from sonata recitals to concerts employing a Baroque orchestra with dancers and singers in costume. Their concert programming embraces all the national styles of the period from Monteverdi through the Romantic era, vigorously seeking out great music which is novel and unpublished. The Kingsbury Ensemble has been praised by audiences and critics and has presented many concerts at the Saint Louis Art Museum in conjunction with their art exhibits. Its summer residence is in Saint Savin, French Pyrénées, now in its fifteenth year.
