Fontanella Recorder Quintet

A source of recreation and entertainment over the centuries – from merry-making at the Tudor courts through its role in storytelling and songs and playing depictions of nature, to the simple pleasures derived from playing music with friends.

The Fontanella Recorder Group, with five of the UK's leading specialist recorder players, have been delighting audiences of all ages for the past ten years in programmes designed to bring the history of this remarkable instrument to life. Their lively concerts span six hundred years of music to the present day, performing on an array of instruments of every shape and size from their beautiful 15-piece renaissance consort to their set of Paetzold 'square' basses.
