Profile
A Dragonsfire concert is a unique event. All the musical items are arranged by members of the group, so that even the best known pieces have a completely new sound. There is a delightful crossover of musical styles. As each member is a multi-instrumentalist, the group use anything up to fifty instruments in a concert programme. Depending on the programme and occasion, they will wear either formal concert dress, or period and colourful costume to enhance the chosen repertoire. They use beautiful vocal harmonies and an informal but informative presentation, introducing each item from the platform to explain the music and the less familiar instruments.
As all performances are completely accoustic, the group can perform as wondering minstrels and engage your guests either inor outdoors.
A typical performance is for up to 2 hours.
