An exciting journey of discovery into a world of forgotten sounds

The internationally recognized The Spirit of Gambo brings a world of forgotten sounds to live again. The exquisite tonal quality, the balance between instruments, and the richness of musical content captivate any The Spirit of Gambo listener, giving them the feeling of being directly transported back in time and leaving them deeply rewarded.

De vaste kern van The Spirit of GAMBO wordt gevormd door Freek Borstlap, Ivanka Neeleman, Thomas Baeté and Geesje Liedmeier. Each of the musicians is able to emphasize his or her instrument’s individuality with a blend of intimacy, intricacy, and passion in perfect combination with the others.

Over time, The Spirit of Gambo has developed a unique and varied instrumental repertoire that draws out the richness and diversity of the viol. The ensemble has recorded a number of CDs, which have received international praise and recognition. De opname van John Jenkins' "Consort Music of Four Parts" (2011) werd bekroond met een Diapason d'Or, an award for outstanding classical music recordings given by reviewers of Diapason magazine in France.

Excellent singers like Claron McFadden and Emma Kirkby voelen zich als een vis in het water met The Spirit of GAMBO. The ensemble gaat regelmatig samenwerkingen aan met andere bekende ensembles zoals Brisk, Capilla Flamenca en Camerata Trajectina.
