The Picardy Players was formed in 2023 to present early music and contemporary compositions side-by-side on historical instruments through multi-sensory storytelling experiences. In their performances they revive microtonal tuning systems from Renaissance Italy to transport the audience to a mysterious sonic realm.

They are a flexible ensemble made up of:

• Mariana Rodrigues soprano

• Emma van der Scheer mezzo-soprano

• Robert Folkes tenor

• Allyn Wu baritone

• Madison Marshall viola

• Elizabeth van ’t Voort viola

• Lizzie Knatt recorders
