about

Ensemble Renaissance (Aнсамбл Рeнeсaнс) from Belgrade, Serbia is the first early music ensemble in Southeast Europe. The group began its life in the Autumn of 1968, when they played early music scores on historical instruments that Dragan Mladjenovic Shakespeare had brought from Prague and Vienna. The founders of the Ensemble, Miomir Ristic, Ljubomir Dimitrijevic, and Dragan Mladjenovic Shakespeare (supported by two ladies Dusica Obradovic and Iskra Uzelac) gave their first concert on January 14th, 1970 in the Gallery of Frescoes in Belgrade. In its forty year long history the Renaissance Ensemble gave more than 3,000 concerts all around Europe (6 in France, 7 in Spain, Portugal, Finland, 6 in Italy, Cyprus, Greece, 3 in Bulgaria, 4 in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Sweden), in the Middle East (Syria) and in North Africa (Algeria), and during the Adriatic summer tours (1982–88). Many splendid commentaries of music critics witness the artistic success of the Renaissance Ensemble: For a long time now such cries of praise and enthusiasm have not been heard (Dubrovnik Summer Festival, August 1975).
