About this concert
Whether you like early music, traditional Celtic songs or folk metal, the hurdy-gurdy has a unique sound that immediately transports you to distant horizons. In her search for the most virtuoso and fashionable hurdy-gurdy repertoire of the eighteenth century, Tobie Miller came across idyllic soundscapes of French origin, which she revives together with her Ensemble Danguy.

About the performers
The Swiss Ensemble Danguy specialises in music in which the hurdy-gurdy plays an important role. The leader of the ensemble, Tobie Miller, is one of the few players who got to know this instrument through early music: its origin was in folk music and it is related to the bagpipes and the Swedish nyckelharpa. The ensemble is named after the most famous hurdy-gurdy player of the eighteenth century, known to us only as L'illustre Danguy.
