"Thank you very much for the lovely concert you gave
us last night. It was varied and interesting music and your performance
was great! We were very impressed with how well you sang and played
(by heart!) and how much you knew about the music. We learned a lot
about medieval music." "Your musicianship is undeniably top drawer and your presentation
and choice of repertoire was engaging, uplifting and enjoyable."
“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.” '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." "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." « Return |
