Book Piffaro

Bring the Music of the Renaissance to Your Audience

Piffaro offers engaging performances that combine artistic excellence, historical depth, and a lively sound experience unlike anything else on today’s concert stage.

For more than 40 years, presenters across the United States and internationally have partnered with Piffaro to introduce audiences to the vibrant musical culture of the Renaissance. Our programs are carefully researched, thoughtfully curated, and designed to speak both to dedicated early music listeners and to audiences discovering this repertoire for the first time.
