Piffaro

Piffaro, The Renaissance Band recreates the elegant sounds of the official, professional wind bands of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as the rustic entertainments of the peasantry.

Shawms, sackbuts, dulcians, recorders, krumhorns, bagpipes, lutes, guitars and percussion provide the fascinating aural dimensions to an entertaining Piffaro performance.

Audiences from Seattle to Spoleto, Italy have marveled at the virtuosity of the ensemble, its precision and impeccable intonation, but most of all its vitality and enthusiasm.

"Piffaro may just be the best Renaissance wind band to appear in the .. twenty-five years since David Munrow."
