SUMMARY:PIVA     The Renaissance Collective. A group of 6 players\, with 40 mediaeval instruments\, and great early music

Playing on a wide range of period instruments such as hurdy gurdies and bagpipes\, shawms and curtals\, they are all multi-instrumentalists with backgrounds in classical\, early\, folk and traditional music; PIVA melds all these influences together to create music of the past played for today. \nThe 6 musicians for this programme will be playing in the region of 40 different instruments!  They don’t travel light!  The instruments are always of great interest as some will be completely new to the audience and audiences are given the opportunity of having a closer look at them during the interval.  They are all accurate\, historical reproductions of instruments of the period.
