Les Filles de Sainte-Colombe take their name from Le Sieure Sainte-Colombe, the famous 17th-century composer and player of the viol. Sainte-Colombe gave concerts with his daughters, which delighted European audiences. In this tradition, Mary Springfels and Wendy Gillespie formed the ensemble to perform some of the most vital and imaginative string ensemble music ever composed. The ensemble, who are well known performers individually as soloists and as members of various ensembes, are often joined by distinguished guest artists perfoming on harpsichord, organ, lute or voice. The group has given concerts throughout the USA and Europe with the goal of delighting audiences as did the original daughters of Sainte Colombe.
