    Piffaro, the Renaissance Band

    Where
    2238 Fairmount Avenue Philadelphia PA 19130

    Piffaro, founded in 1980, performs music of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods on a large and varied collection of early wind instruments, augmented by percussion and strings. Modeled after the official civic, chapel and court bands that were the premier professional ensembles from the 14th into the early 17th centuries, Piffaro has pursued the instruments and music of the peasantry and of rustic life as well, combining the two milieu to dramatic effect when appropriate.

    Performances take place at various churches in Philadelphia and its suburbs. All are wheelchair accessible; assistance is always provided at the entrance.
