We have numerous programs to offer, with 16th and 17th Century repertoire from all of the European courts and from the New World, with varying numbers of players. Perhaps the most exciting programs for the audience are the Venetian ones, especially when our full nine-player group performs polychoral ("antiphonal") music. Audiences always enjoy that kind of slice of history, imagining the glorious acoustic and spatial effects that music utilized. 

We also perform smaller programs with four to seven players, utilizing the florid, virtuosic character of the cornetto and the rich sonority of the sackbut, both displaying their soloistic capacities. In any case, we can adjust the size and configuration of the group to suit the needs of the presenter.
