Las Aves 

Las Aves is an emerging ensemble dedicated to historically informed-performance of Medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque repertoire from Europe and its New World colonies. Replicating Músicos de Cámera y Chiesa, musicians of the Spanish court and church who both sang and played instruments, the ensemble hopes audiences find sincerity and passion in its historically informed performances. 

All members hold graduate degrees in early music or historical performance from acclaimed music schools across the United States. Each member brings his or her own research and performance interests to the ensemble which allows Las Aves to present thoughtful and well studied programs with a deep knowledge of accurate historical pronunciations, performance practices, and the use of historical instruments. Las Aves is based in Bloomington, Indiana.

Our History
Las Aves started out as a student ensemble apart of Indiana University's Historical Performance Department. After the ensemble's premiere in Bloomington, Indiana performing on numerous local events, a featured concert at Early Music America's Young Performers Festival, and many members graduating from school, the group re-branded at Las Aves. 

Las Aves will make its international premiere this April at the ​Festival International de Musica Sacra de Quito performing programs of early 17th-c Italian music. This engagement is supported by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation through USArtists International in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
