Featured in a five-week tour of the Far East, HESPERUS mixes medieval & renaissance music with American blues, Old-Time, Cajun, swing and vaudeville styles. Featuring two-dozen early and traditional vintage instruments including the medieval vielle, rebec, recorders and Arabic percussion, and American banjos, guitars, dulcimers, and mouth bow. Re-creating the music of our American past and our distant European past, HESPERUS creates a musical stew that is truly and completely new.
