Arion orchestre baroque est l'unique orchestre de musique ancienne sur instruments d'époque au Québec. La clarté et la fraîcheur des interprétations d'Arion ont été remarquées dès ses premiers concerts ; la finesse de ses lectures d'œuvres baroques choisies et variées ne s'est pas démentie depuis 30 ans. Un souci constant du détail a placé l'orchestre mené par la vision artistique éclairée de la flutiste Claire Guimond parmi les meilleures formations de musique ancienne reconnues en Amérique du Nord et à travers le monde.------Arion Baroque Orchestra, founded in 1981, is the only early music orchestra performing on period instruments in Québec and one of the most renowned early music ensembles in North America. Led by the enlightened artistic vision of flutist Claire Guimond, the orchestra offers a prestigious concert series in Montréal featuring more than twenty musicians and with the participation of internationally known guest conductors. The clarity and freshness of Arion's interpretations have been remarked through the concert tours in Japan, United States, Europe and Mexico. Arion has also put together an impressive recording collection with 26 titles both as an ensemble and as an orchestra, distributed internationally and on the web.
