Infusion Baroque is an award-winning chamber ensemble known for their “brilliant virtuosity, musical integrity, and a concert presence unlike any other.” Based in Montreal, Quebec, they specialize in performing on historical instruments from the eighteenth century. Their program “East is East” is a multicultural collaboration of Eastern and Western musical traditions that transcends time and borders, and their most recent album by the same name was recently nominated for a Juno Award for Album of the Year - Small Ensemble. Joined by guest artists Amir Amiri, Vidita Kanniks, Hamin Honari, Shawn Mativetsky, and Thibault Bertin-Maghit, “East is East” takes audiences on a musical voyage with works by Vivaldi, Amiri, Ravi Shankhar, and traditional Persian and European dances.
