Praised as “remarkable” and “superb” by Alex Ross in the New Yorker, Sonnambula is a historically informed ensemble that brings to light unknown music for early instruments with the lush sound of the viol at the core. Sonnambula recently held the position of ensemble in residence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the group curated a site-specific series at The Cloisters. Performances and collaborators have included The Madison Early Music Festival, Early Music Texas, The Boston Early Music Festival, Teju Cole, Barnard College, PERFORMA, Bard Graduate Center, Princeton University, and many others. The ensemble has a strong commitment to working with museums and in this capacity has worked closely with The Hispanic Society of America in New York to design concerts featuring little-known female composers and American premieres of both 18th-century Cuban sacred music and Spanish zarzuela. Sonnambula has also been a featured guest at The National Gallery of Art, The Detroit Museum of Arts, The Frick Collection, and other notable American museums. Their award-winning recording of 17th-century composer Leonora Duarte was released on Centaur Records and in 2024 will release their second recording with AVIE Records.
