 \n\nFounded in 2011 by Pedro Funes-Whittington at the Jacobs School of 
 Music and the Early Music Institute at Indiana University\, Les Touches is 
 a viol ensemble whose core repertoire includes the works of many of 
 England’s most prominent early music composers such as William Byrd and 
 John Coprario\, as well as the works of composers whose work deserves wider 
 recognition\, such as George Jeffreys and Peter Phillips. The ensemble has 
 performed across the United States\, working with groups such as Texas 
 Early Music Project and the South Dakota Chorale\, and continues to pursue 
 collaboration with other musicians and ensembles.
