Formed in 2002, Pantagruel have been delighting audiences
across Europe with their semi-staged performances of
renaissance music. Hannah Morrison's pure and sweet voyce
combined with citterns, gitterns, lutes and flutes played by
Dominik Schneider & Mark Wheeler bring to life the passionate
music of a distant age.
Pantagruel, the hero of Francois Rabelaiss 1532 Novel, with
his motto do, what thou wilt is the fitting name for an
ensemble that is not afraid to explore innovative ideas of
performance and presentation. Combining painstaking
musicological research with their experience in classical
music, rock music, jazz, theatre and dance, their performances
expand classical concert conventions by using renaissance
practices of medley, improvisation and gesture.
2003 saw the debut of "Eliza is the fairest queen" a program
of Elizabethan ballads, Ayres and Dances, to great critical
acclaim, which has since seen over forty performances in
Germany, Holland and England. In May 2005 they were invited to
perform a lecture recital with the renowned harpist Andrew
Lawrence-King (Harp Consort, Hesperion XX, etc) at Kloster
Michaelstein, Germany.
In September 2005 they embarked on an extensive tour which
included performances at the Muenster Baroque Festival,
Utrecht early music festival and concerts in England including
Exeter Cathedral and the English Lute society where they had
also performed the year before to great critical acclaim.
The ensemble is presently working on a new concert program
entitled "The Golden age restor'd" which will concentrate on
Jacobean stage music, recieving its premiere in June 2006 at
the National Portrait Gallery in London.
