African Renaissance Ensemble

The African Renaisance Ensemble is a South African musical ensemble specializing in the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The group was founded in Johannesburg by multi-instrumentalist and conductor Adam H. Golding and his collaborator, Dillon Davie. The ensemble regularly performs in Johannesburg and tours. The group consists of a 5-part string consort, a 4-part wind consort, a 4-part brass consort, a vocal ensemble and continuo. The ensemble's goal is to spread awareness and love for early music and its performances are informed by historical practices, using period style instruments wherever possible. While the group roots its practice in historically informed practices, the goal of the group is to present early music in an exciting format to generate love and interest with modern audiences.
