Music, instruments and literature from three continents and eight centuries
have found their way to Victoria, in the hands, hearts, and voices of Banquo,
a local ensemble playing folk & early music from many lands and times.
Banquo performs in historical costume, playing songs, dances and airs from the
British Isles and far beyond. Banquo draws from the musical traditions
of Europe, the Middle East, and North America, from the 12th Century to
the present day.
The members
collectively play over 20 instruments, including harps, bagpipes, winds
of all kinds, strings, and varied percussion. This group has been over
800 years in the making!
