The group is dedicated to giving modern premieres of the wild instrumental music of the seventeenth century, resurrecting long-forgotten works. ACRONYM released a third album, the first recordings of Giovanni Valentini’s instrumental works, in 2015. Gramophone wrote that the recording is "played with expertise, enthusiasm and an almost tactile sense of timbre." ACRONYM has recorded two more albums to be released in early 2016: the modern premiere of Valentini's 1616 book of madrigals with the vocal ensemble Les Canards Chantants, and a "Cabinet of Curiosities," instrumental sonatas by ten composers of the German Baroque.. Quickly becoming recognized as an essential early-music ensemble, ACRONYM is "vital and vibrant," "irresistible" and "exceptional."

 The “singing ducks” have performed to high acclaim throughout the UK and Germany, appearing on BBC One and in venues as diverse as York Minster, The National Centre for Early Music, and Poole’s Cavern. Now newly based in Philadelphia, Les Canards Chantants are musical Ensemble in Residence at the Glencairn Museum, and their 2015-2016 season includes concerts at the Cathedral Basilica and the Bowerbird series in Philadelphia, the Five Boroughs Music Festival in New York City, collaborations with period-instrument ensembles Piffaro and ACRONYM, and residencies at Brown University and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Les Canards Chantants is proud to be a 2015 recipient of an Early Music America Outreach Grant.
