Quadriga Consort Visits

This free-spirited Austrian Renaissance band is composed of 7 young musicians - - voice, recorders, viols, harpsichord, and percussion - - who seamlessly blend the traditions of early music from Ireland, England, and Scotland.

The group's performance on March 15 was made possible by the Renaissance and Baroque Society. The society was hosting the musicians for a public performance in Oakland.

The musicians described and demonstrated all of the instruments. The vocalist was especially good with tales of the origins of each song.

The Quadriga Consort was well received with much after-show discussion and demonstrations.
