Children and young people aged between 6 and  22 play all kinds of fipple flutes in period costumes. Their repertoire is formed of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque compositions with multi-vocal arrangements with singing and demonstration of Renaissance dances. Every year they perform both home and abroad, mainly during municipal historic festivities, in castles and showplaces, during programmes for tourists, international workshops, festivals etc.
