Renaissance came together in the Seventies with an appealing blend of classical and rock themes mixed overtones of folk. The band has undergone a welcome revival in recent years and is still performing with original members singer Annie Haslam and composer/guitarist Michael Dunford. Today they are reaching out to young audiences who appreciate their fine music and long history.
