The ensemble features internationally recognized Baroque music specialists who actively collaborate in Boston's vibrant early music scene, bringing spirited and polished performances to listeners throughout the Northeast. The ensemble's performances have been described by Early Music America as "the most engaging chamber music playing...[a] generous, voluptuous sound...well delineated, [and with] a poignancy of emotion." Les Bostonades is an ensemble of flexible size and instrumentation; their regular players, with Ms. Sato at the core, collaborate regularly with internationally renowned Baroque performance specialists. Recent performances have featured Teresa Wakim (soprano), Gonzalo Ruiz (oboe) and Hank Knox (harpsichord), Zachary Wilder (tenor), Christopher Palameta (oboe), and Matthew Wadsworth (theorbo). In 2018 Les Bostonades released its second CD with tenor Zachary Wilder, featuring French cantatas by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault.
