Matthias Maute

Recorder virtuoso, conductor, composer, and flutist Matthias Maute is a prominent figure in Montreal's early music scene and is well known in the U.S. and Europe, as well. He is also an important educator. Maute was born in Ebingen, Germany, in 1963. He studied the recorder in Freiburg, Germany, and Utrecht, Netherlands, with Baldrick Deerenberg and Marion Verbruggen, respectively. Maute began to come to international prominence with a first prize in the soloist category at the Musica Antiqua Bruges Competition in Belgium in 1990. Four years later, he won the Dutch Impressariat Chamber Music Competition as part of the Trio Passio. Soon after that, Maute made his recording debut, playing one of his own compositions on the album Von Paris nach Wien by the Duo Caprice Stuttgart. Maute has written more than 30 compositions for the recorder and has recorded many of them. He has played with various orchestras and chamber groups, including the REBEL Baroque Orchestra in New York, of which he is principal flutist. Maute has become steadily better known in the 21st century. He was the featured recorder soloist at the Boston Early Music Festival in 2003 and 2005, and he made his debut at New York's Lincoln Center in 2008. Maute settled in Montreal and has performed at Canadian festivals, including the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, Festival international du Domaine Forget, and Elora Festival. He has appeared on more than 30 recordings and has released solo albums on the Analekta, ATMA Classique, Bridge, and Leaf Music labels. The latter label was home to his 2021 recording -- as conductor -- of Handel's Messiah, HWV 56, featuring Ensemble Caprice. Maute serves as the artistic director of that ensemble, which also includes his wife and frequent duet partner, flutist Sophie Larivière. He teaches recorder, chamber music, and improvisation at Montreal's McGill University and the Université de Montreal.
