The Hurdy-Gurdy Band was formed in 1979 when Donald Heller (NY, USA)
travelled to Budapest, Hungary and married Anicét Mikolai. Since then, they have
performed throughout Europe, Canada and the United States. In 2000 they were
joined by their sons, Gaspar (spinnet) and Julien (violin).
From the very beginning, The Hurdy-Gurdy Band has been as concerned with
traditional performances that combine music and theater.
Using techniques inspired by the Commedia dall' Arte troupes of the Renaissance
and Baroque, their performances place their music into its original context as
experienced by audiences in the early part of the 18th Century in Paris and
London. Donald and Anicet Heller continue the nine hundred year tradition of the Hurdy-Gurdy duo.
Julien is currently studying at the Boston Conservatory but often sneaks next
door to the Berklee School of Music to listen to Jazz.
