SUMMARY:All Excellent and Esteemed: The Bassano Family
DESCRIPTION:Mar 21 at 7:30 - Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral\nMar 22 at 7:

 eaming online\n\n"They are four brethren\, all excellent and esteemed abov
 e all others in this city in their virtue\," was the report from Edmond Ha
 rvel\, King Henry VIII's agent in Venice\, upon hearing the Bassanos. Not 
 long after\, many members of this Italian (and likely Jewish) family of wi
 nd players and instrument builders moved to Henry VIII's court\, while oth
 ers remained in Italy as important members of the Venetian musical scene. 
 Over the next few decades\, this family extended the frontiers of instrume
 ntal music. The wind players of Piffaro look at one of the most potent exa
 mples of musical immigration in 16th century Europe - the story of the Bas
 sano family.\n\n“Widely regarded as North America's masters of music for
  Renaissance wind band” (St Paul Pioneer Press)\, Piffaro delights audie
 nces throughout the world with highly polished recreations of the rustic m
 usic of the peasantry and the elegant sounds of the official wind bands of
  the late Medieval and Renaissance periods. Its musicians perform on shawm
 s\, dulcians\, sackbuts\, recorders\, krumhorns\, bagpipes\, lutes\, guita
 rs\, harps\, and a variety of percussion — all careful reconstructions o
 f instruments from the period. \n\nClick HERE for more details.
