CordaSonoraEarly Music Ensemble
The Wandering Bard (a.k.a. TWB Ensemble) is an early music formation dedicated to historically informed performances with storytelling content; following the footsteps of the bards of yore, they combine repertoire to bring myths, legends and stories of kings, queens and composers to the audience.
Solo Artist
Esin Yardimli Alves Pereira is a writer, designer and musician dedicated to various platforms of artistic production. She performs, composes and produces in styles that expand from early music to jazz. She plays most instruments that at least resemble a violin and some more, all of which can be heard in her orchestral works.
Solo Artist
Ricardo Alves Pereira is a multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer who holds a master degree in classical guitar. He builds his works around the Musical Narrative concept which he developed througout years of his solo career, and today he applies the method to the TWB Ensemble. He is a devoted researcher of early music and myths of old days.
Research & Creative
Leyriath Assemblage, found by Ricardo Alves Pereira gathers folkloric, historical, geographical and ancestral lore of Northwest Iberia and merges them to tales of music and magic. The tales can be heard in some The Wandering Bard concerts where the ensemble accompanies the legends with unique arrangements of medieval and renaissance music. The rest can be found and followed through “retold stories” and raw poetry.
