In 1988 Nancy Hadden directed her ground-breaking recording "Flute Music of the 16th and 17th Centuries" (Hyperion), the first ever recording to be devoted to music for the Renaissance flute. Following the album’s success, Nancy founded Zephyrus Flutes. The group has developed over many years of friendship and collaboration, driven by the shared passion to play the beguiling and beautiful consort repertoire for Renaissance flutes using historic instruments and playing techniques.
