Les Sacqueboutiers are a French early music ensemble renowned for bringing Renaissance and Baroque works to life with period instruments like sackbuts (early trombones) and cornets. Based in Toulouse, they dive deep into historical soundscapes, blending scholarly rigor with playful creativity. Their repertoire spans sacred masterpieces by composers like Schütz and Gabrieli, alongside explorations of cross-cultural exchanges—think Arab-influenced Occitan legends or musical narratives tied to Spanish colonial history. They’re not afraid to mix eras either, cheekily bridging early music with jazz improvisation. Whether reviving forgotten royal funeral music or reimagining Venetian canzonas, their performances balance authenticity with a lively, approachable flair, making centuries-old traditions feel fresh and vibrant.
