Angèle Dubeau & La Pieta
Sunday, April 13, 2008
Beginning in the 14th century, needy young women were offered shelter and musical instruction at the La Pieta charitable hospice in Venice, where Vivaldi later taught for 35 years. So it is that Angele Dubeau and La Pieta in 1997 formed as a string ensemble for piano—uniquely composed of women who are among Canada’s finest musicians. Dubeau, the group’s leader, plays a 1733 Stradivarius with what one critic called “a flashy, bold style” and showmanship that guarantees an exciting evening.
“La Pieta’s string ensemble’s precision never failed. Like Vivaldi’s ensemble, Dubeau’s all-women group last night triumphed over an all-male repertoire.” Toronto Star
