The Calgary Renaissance Singers & Players (CRSP) are a mixed voice, auditioned ensemble with associated instrumentalists, dancers, and theatrical players. Our purpose is to inspire, entertain, and educate our audiences and members through the music, culture, and history of the Renaissance.
\nWe enrich our performances with works of other periods that celebrate the spirit of the Renaissance.
\nThe Calgary Renaissance Singers & Players (CRSP) is a mixed voice, auditioned ensemble with associated instrumentalists, dancers, and theatrical players. Our purpose is to inspire, entertain, and educate our audiences and members through the music, culture, and history of the Renaissance. We enrich our performances with works of other periods that celebrate the spirit of the Renaissance.
\nWhile much of our music is designed for church performance, we also work with a wealth of secular music: madrigals, love songs, drinking songs, and occasional political complaints. We often include instruments and invite guest musical artists, collaborating with many other choral and instrumental groups in Calgary. We also feature talented instrumentalists who perform on a variety of ancient instruments, such as baroque recorder, crumhorn, viola da gamba, harpsichord and many others.
\nAs our name explains, we are not just “Singers” but also “Players.” Therefore, at a performance, you may also be entertained between songs with historical commentary, short theatre skits, dance, and other short performances that suit the theme of a concert. Audiences frequently comment on our historical costumes as well, which we update regularly and keep colourful. We are an artistically creative and playful group, so prepare to be surprised and entertained.
\nThe Calgary Renaissance Singers & Players rehearse at the Calgary Unitarians and most often perform at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Calgary.
