Musicians

Ensemble Renard
Ensemble Renard was founded in 2018. A wind quintet, the Ensemble gives exciting and varied performances for audiences of all backgrounds. From Gershwin to Knussen, via Mozart, each piece they play demonstrates the versatility and talent of the ensemble. They include repertoire which rarely sees the light of day, and feature works especially written or arranged for the ensemble. This is their third visit to Llanfyllin.
