La Capella Ducale

German Early Music Ensemble

La Capella Ducale is a vocal and instrumental ensemble that specializes in the performance of early music, particularly from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The group is known for its historically informed performances, which aim to recreate the soundscapes and styles of music as they would have been heard during the time of their composition. Under the direction of conductor and founder Roland Wilson, La Capella Ducale has gained recognition for its interpretations of works by composers such as Claudio Monteverdi and Heinrich Schütz. The ensemble often collaborates with Musica Fiata, another group founded by Wilson, to perform larger-scale works that require both vocal and instrumental forces. Their repertoire includes a wide range of sacred and secular music, and they have recorded several albums that have been well-received by critics for their authenticity and musicality.
