The Dufay Collective was formed in 1987 to explore the rich and varied repertoire of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They are a group of musicians who work together, as their name implies, without a director.

Their recent release Cancionero - Music for the Spanish Court 1470 - 1520, won a CMA / WQXR Record Award, was chosen as a Critics Choice Record of the Year by Gramophone Magazine and was nominated for a Grammy. A L'Estampida, one of their most popular recordings, is of Medieval Dance Music from the 13th and 14th centuries.

The highly successful 12 years since its formation have taken The Dufay Collective on tours throughout most of Europe as well as further afield. They have toured extensively in the Middle East, India, Hong Kong, Australia, the US and Latin America. At home The Dufay Collective has appeared in numerous concert series and festivals around the country, and has given sell-out concerts at London's main concert halls.

Highlights of recent years have included performances in the monastery of Montserrat, Early Music Network tours in Holland, Norway and the UK, the Tallinn Festival in Estonia, the Festival de Fes in Morocco, and regular concerts in Spain. A return to Australia as part of the Sydney Festival was highly successful, as was a series of concerts in Singapore. At home they continue their association with Dartington Summer School, the year 2000 being their eighth as tutors. In May 2000 the Dufays feature live on BBC2's 'Perfect Day' broadcast and planned is a collaboration with The Orlando Consort and the Richard Alston Dance Company.

The group has broadcast on many radio and TV networks around the world as well as working on a number of TV and film projects, including Zeffirelli's feature film Hamlet. Their CD's have all met with critical acclaim, releases for Chandos Records including a range of repertoire from medieval Europe, the early Spanish renaissance and popular music from 17th century England.
