We are delighted to welcome the international ensemble Phaedrus, as part of their UK tour following an appearance at the Cambridge Early Music Festival. The ensemble first came together during their studies at the renowned Swiss music centre, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The group became fascinated with the refinement to be found in Renaissance music, which gave it a completely distinctive character, now recognised as representing courtly life in the 16th and 17th centuries. In England, one of the greatest patrons of the arts was Henry VIII who developed the cultural and musical splendour of the Tudor court, and it is music of this time that four members of Phaedrus are bringing to Culmstock in October. Emma-Lisa Roux - voice, & lute - Mara Winter , Charlotte Schneider, Luis Martinez Pueyo - renaissance flute consort
