The Artisans: an exciting new medieval and Renaissance band

The Artisans
“The Artisans dust off medieval music, bringing it to vibrant life and connecting directly with audiences through their sheer inventiveness and infectious enjoyment of the music.”
Clare Norburn, Co-Artistic Director, Brighton Early Music Festival

'The Artisans' showed themselves to be the equal of any early music group performing today; their recital was impeccable, both in technique and musicianship, and also in their relaxed, informative style. Audience response was universally positive and enthusiastic: "the most delightful early music experience ever; exquisite playing and singing of a very well-chosen programme."

"...stunningly beautiful - I'm not normally an early music fan, but this was fantastic."
Nora Heard, Co-ordinator of Music Recitals at Christ Church Spitalfields

"The Artisans are no ordinary medieval ensemble. Instead of taking us back in time, they bring the music of the past effortlessly into the present day, with a youthful openness, enthusiasm and rhythm that captivated our visitors this year.

With their remarkable array of instruments, wonderful singing and willingness to talk to all ages of visitor, they turned our Family Day into one of the most successful events of the year."   
 Jonathan Sargant, Music Organiser, Knole House
