The Royal Wind Music is a unique recorder consort based in the Netherlands, renowned for its vibrant performances and deep exploration of Renaissance and early Baroque repertoire. Founded in 1997 by Paul Leenhouts, the ensemble is made up of young professional recorder players from across the world, many of whom met as students at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Performing entirely from memory, the group brings an extraordinary sense of freedom, energy, and interaction to its concerts, often playing on a remarkable collection of Renaissance-style recorders ranging from 15 cm to over 3 meters in length. Dedicated to reviving forgotten repertoire and breathing new life into familiar works, The Royal Wind Music is known for its imaginative programming and rich, organ-like sound. The ensemble tours internationally and has released several acclaimed recordings. It also runs educational projects and its own biennial open recorder festival, showcasing the versatility and expressive range of the recorder family. Portrait of Albrecht Drer A musical biography of the master (14711528) 2021 marked the 550th anniversary of the birth of Albrecht Drer, one of the leading artists of the Renaissance, following his steps from his birthplace Nuremberg to Italy and the Low Countries and playing music with a thematic connection to his drawings, paintings and engravings. This programme will feature music associated with the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, Drer's patron, and compositions published in Nuremberg and Venice. We also connect a few of his works, like Melencolia I, Praying Hands and his self-portraits to songs and motets which are as impressive and moving as Drer's own works.
