FRINGE - Echo Temporis Consort
As an Ensemble specialized on the music between the late 15th and early 17th century, Echo Temporis Consort was founded in 2017 by the four recorder players Clément Gester, Noemi Müller, Charlotte Schneider and Lea Sobbe, who met during their studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Exploring the vocal and instrumental Renaissance repertoire, the young musicians’ aim is to feature the immense variety of sound colours of this music with the possibilities offered by a recorder consort. In consequence Echo Temporis Consort experiments with different scorings to find colourful instrumentations, emphasizing the affect of each piece. The groups’ approach to its musical repertoire is characterized by balancing the imitation of vocal practice and the advantages of the possibilities a purely instrumental setting offers. Echo Temporis regularly performs in concerts in Switzerland. The group receives lessons with Katharina Bopp, Conrad Steinmann and Han Tol at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. In masterclasses and coachings with Susanna Borsch, Peter van Heyghen, Pedro Memelsdorff and Jan Van Hoecke the musicians keep discovering their repertoire from different perspectives.
