"REBEL's remarkable players remind us that much baroque music is edgy, charged, sensuous, even bizarre. It explodes the extremes of feeling and expression." - Minneapolis/St. Paul Star Tribune

Lobelia, for REBEL's "distinctive" performances, plus sweet peas for journeys, suit this globe-trotting ensemble from the Netherlands. REBEL takes its name from the innovative 17th century French Baroque composer, Jean-Féry Rebel, and presents a program titled "Musical Treasures of the 17th and 18th Centuries."

"[REBEL's] distinctive, very active approach to this music was readily apparent…this flamboyant, interventionist style emboldened all the music on the program with accent and color. Add utterly fearless, risk-everything playing to the mix…and you get astonishingly vital music-making." - Los Angeles Times
