Piffaro: The Renaissance Band

Friday, March 22, 2013, 7:00 p.m.

Detroit Institute of Arts
 

Piffaro, the nation’s finest Renaissance wind band, will perform the songs, dances, motets and madrigals of Flemish and Italian Renaissance composers as it strolls the Renaissance galleries of the Detroit Institute of Arts, creating a meaningful context and connection between the visual arts and music of the 15^th and 16^th centuries. 

This event is presented by the Chamber Music Society of Detroit in association with the DIA’s Friday Night Live! series.

This concert is open to the public free of charge with museum admission, and the DIA is open to residents of Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties free of charge.
 

“A contagious spontaneity and enthusiasm that helped to deliver a lively lesson in early music history.”

— Baltimore Sun

“The players fused musical agility with expansive freedom. It was like hearing a top-flight jazz group handing melodies around for variation and laughingly competing for prominence.”

— The Philadelphia Inquirer

The Chamber Music Society of Detroit is grateful to Varnum LLP for its sponsorship of Piffaro's inDepth Concert.

The inDepth Series is supported in part by major grants from the John S. & James L. Knight Foundation, and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
