"Tight as a skilled jazz group," reconstruction is a new ensemble of women breaking the boundaries of chamber music. Described as "fresh, sexy, and captivating," while possessing "rigorous musicianship," the group features three sopranos, harpsichord, Baroque cello and Baroque guitars. Through inspired performances of music of the Baroque period, reconstruction's "cutting edge" concerts take classical music into the 21st century.

Formed in 2002, reconstruction made its official debut at California's "Music in the Vineyards" series in 2003 to great acclaim. The ensemble members originally met while touring together with the renowned early music group Bimbetta. Sharing a passion for the music of the Baroque, reconstruction was born. Synonymous with "reform," "modernization," "renewal" and "re-enactment," the name reconstruction was chosen to represent their modern approach to theatrical presentations of Baroque music.

In 2003-2004 reconstruction made its New York debut at The Cutting Room. Since then, reconstruction has performed at venues including Ford Hall at Ithaca College (NY), the Lane Series at the University of Vermont, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (University of Maryland), and sharing the bill with the Buena Vista Social Club at the Festival San Luis during their first tour of Mexico. This season, reconstruction embarks on their second tour of Mexico.
