Ensemble Molière has established a strong reputation across the UK and Europe. With its distinctive combination of instruments – flute, violin, bassoon, viola da gamba/cello and harpsichord – Ensemble Molière specializes in 17th and 18th century repertoire and has already won acclaim at leading Baroque and Early Music festivals.
