Linked by the desire to play the airs of court of the 17th century, Anne Delafosse-Quentin, Claire Antonini, and Maeva Bouachrine created the Trio Dafne with all-original instrumentation. Together, they strive for diversity of sound, coherence of style, and creativity in ornamentation. The trio is part of the "Jardins de Courtoisie," an ensemble speciailizing in ancient music which seeks to revive the immense repertory of the lyric chanson compositions written in the French language from the 12th to the 17th century.
