About Ensemble La Volta
https://gjeaycompo.bandcamp.com/ http://ensemblelavolta.chez-alice.fr/ The members of La Volta Ensemble play mainly the Baroque and classical repertoire. To best serve this wonderful music, they use period instruments and convey all the emotion and liveliness of the pages composed by the great musicians of the XVIIIth century. The La Volta Ensemble, founded in 1996, regularly performs at Toronto, Quebec as well as Montreal and area. They also accept engagements in ceremonies and congresses. They participate in theatre and baroque dance presentations, wearing eighteenth-century costumes. The trio consists of Grégoire Jeay, baroque flute, Olivier Brault baroque violin and Isabelle Bozzini baroque cello. Each of them has contributed in recording and broadcasts. Grégoire Jeay Born in Bordeaux, France in 1962, Grégoire Jeay came to Montreal in 1970 with his family. After having studied with several flutist (François Codère, Gisèle Millet, Liselyn Adams) he completed his Bachelor's degree at Université de Montréal and advanced training at Concordia University. Grégoire Jeay is principal flute at the Montreal Baroque Orchestra (MBO). He has appeared in concert in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, France, Belgium, Mexico, and Turkey. His repertoire with the MBO comprises several concertos by Vivaldi, C.P.E. Bach, Boccherini, Handel and J.S. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2. A number of his concerts have been recorded on Radio-Canada (CBC) and Belgian radio. He participates also in a few CD recordings among others with the Boréades Ensemble directed by Francis Colpron. Recently, he recorded with the violinist Olivier Brault the 6 sonatas for flute and violin Opus 51 by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier on ATMA label. Apart from the MBO, he is a member of various ensembles: La Compagnie Machaut; Ensemble Da Sonar, directed by Réjean Poirier; and Les Malurons, a group devoted to the folk music of New France and to Medieval dance. On top of his activities as flutist, Grégoire Jeay makes compositions, arrangemtns and computer recording and programmation. He conceived several sound tracks for different events: music for a painting show, advertising and also arrangements and realisation for the CD of the singer Pier Noli. Futhermore, he wrote a play for youth audiences (Le Visiteur (The Visitor), for Youth and Music Canada) which aims at initiating them to Baroque Music.
