**Sonnambula** is a historically informed early-music ensemble known for reviving and performing lesser-known works for early instruments, with a particular focus on the rich sound of the viol. Praised by The New Yorker’s Alex Ross as “remarkable” and “superb,” the group has held prestigious residencies at The Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Their artistry is deeply rooted in thorough research and a passion for reimagining music from past centuries in a contemporary context. Sonnambula’s debut recording, featuring the complete works of 17th-century composer Leonora Duarte, won the American Musicological Society’s Jewish Studies Prize in 2019, highlighting their commitment to uncovering hidden gems in early music repertoire.
The ensemble often collaborates with museums and cultural institutions, curating innovative programs that emphasize historically significant yet underrepresented music, including women's contributions and music from diverse cultural heritages. Members of the group include highly trained musicians with extensive expertise in early music performance practices and historical instruments, which enriches their authentic and nuanced interpretations.
