Mai Musical de Meursault - Concert Consort Brouillamini : "The Woods so wild"

Consort playing reached its peak during the Renaissance. Instruments such as viols, lutes, violins and recorders were grouped together in families of different sizes; these ensembles were known as "consorts".
The abundant and extremely rich literature devoted to consort playing in England, as well as Henry VIII's impressive private collection of no fewer than 70 flutes of different sizes, violas da gamba and violins, bear witness to the great enthusiasm this practice aroused.
With its programme 'The Woods so Wild', Consort Brouillamini sets its sights on England and invites you to explore over 150 years of music: from John Dowland to Nicola Matteis, from William Byrd to Henry Purcell.

The Consort Brouillamini is an atypical group of five talented recorder players. Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Lyon in Pierre Hamon's class, the ensemble specialised during its studies in the interpretation of the Renaissance consort repertoire, and stands out for its originality in producing its own transcriptions of Baroque and Renaissance works, as well as for its commitment to contemporary creation.
Consort Brouillamini has twice won awards from the jury and the public at international competitions. It won 1st prize at the Concours International des journées de Musiques Anciennes de Vanves (France) in 2016, the audience prize at the 2014/2015 Musée en musique de Grenoble music season, and 1st prize and the audience prize at the International Early Music Competition in Gijón (Spain) in 2012.
