'Although not a Christmas programme the concert presented in Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor on Friday 29th November by the early music group Sirinu left its audience in buoyant mood, delighted (in the words of one member) by 'this festive pre-Yuletide event'. One factor was the sheer range and variety of instruments performed by the five players, amounting to over a dozen; combined with excellent singing, this made for an exhilarating musical experience.'
​‘A tour de force of sound, colour, movement and dance…energetic and virtuosic…this exhausting and extrovert concert was not only extremely original and convincing, but also great fun’
‘A gorgeous set of programmes…beautifully performed by the multi-instrumental quartet Sirinu.’
‘Very stylish…rare repertoire and rare talent with Sara Stowe’s crystalline to-die-for voice…destined for great things.’
‘This brilliant synthesis of scholarship, musicianship, vivacity of performance…one of the best concerts in this year’s season from the Early Music Network’
‘wonderful, bold singing…excellent spoken introductions…dance and movement were integral parts of the whole concert and were always utterly appropriate’
​‘the large audience sat enthralled…a faultlessly presented and exquisitely balanced evening of song and instrumental music…an impressive array of instruments, languages and skills’
​‘One day somebody will come on with a dead parrot and one of them will play it’
‘They spread out before you like the promise of a banquet…you’re seduced before they even sound a note.’
‘Their straight faces don’t deceive…they are all having too much fun’

Sirinu jouent aussi le rôle d’ethnologues et d’historiens de la musique. Grâce à eux, l’assistance a pu qoûter le sons souvent envoûtants d’insruments aujourd’hui délaissés tels que la bombarde, le luth, la Vielle à roue ou encore…la coquille de Saint-Jacques! Une trouvaille très pragmatique et ingènieuse!
