The Conservatory of Music in Cartagena on Saturday hosted the last of the "Family Concert" organized by the Department of Education for this school year 2008/2009.
This time the concert was attended by 'Ensemble The Danserye', under the title of 'Sones and Dances of the Renaissance' delighted the audience with Renaissance and Baroque works manuscripts drawn from museums and cathedrals.
The group used a wind instrument known as minstrels, which are copies of those used by the musicians of the Renaissance.
The other instruments are all original reconstructions of the XV, XVI and XVII preserved in museums such as Brussels and cathedrals such as Salamanca.
Recorders, bugles renancestistas, sackbuts, hornpipes, orlos, baroque trumpets, etc, set up the wind instruments used in the Renaissance.
The concert was led by a presenter who recounted events and happenings of the day, while the musicians explained the unique characteristics of such instruments, with the result that some of them have been made by the musicians themselves, as happened at the time.
The concert featured the collaboration of a group of students of 2 º ESO IES Carthago Spartaria of La Palma, who along with her music teacher had prepared two pieces of music to perform with Ensemble La Danserye.
Both old and young enjoyed this original concert.
