Be transported
in time by the lively sounds of sackbuts, cornets and viols,
playing Italian songs and dances of the 16th and 17th centuries.
This acclaimed band of early music specialists enjoys local
and worldwide success. The quintet’s name comes from
the term “Whoall Noyse”, that a group like this
might have been called.
“There
are few ensembles like The Whole Noyse performing today,
and the Noyse… are among the best.…The Whole
Noyse may count itself as among the most accomplished.”
-- Joseph Spencer, SFVC
