A quartet of recorders and of different musical styles - this is the mark of Quinta Essentia group. As a result of a friendship made in Brazilian music festivals, Alfredo Zaine, Guilherme dos Anjos, Gustavo de Francisco and Renata Pereira joined in 2006 to bring forth the desire to show the recorder to the Brazilian public. It was exploring the possibilities of this unique instrument that the recorder became the essence of the group's work. Through a consistent work, Quinta Essentia has won several prizes such as Petrobras Young Chamber Music Players National Contest [2007] and Stimulus Music Award of São Paulo State Culture Secretary [2007]. The latter made possible the recording of the first album called “La Marca”.
