SF Performances Presents: Trio Mediaeval

Presented by San Francisco Performances

This "highwire vocal act" of three women can sing anything-and they do-from ancient to contemporary music with a cappella flair and intense vocal command. Hailed as a "fascinating journey with music of timeless beauty," Trio Mediaeval's highly acclaimed first disc Words of the Angel (2001) launched the group into the elite circles of early music ensembles and introduced them to a broad international audience.

 

A typical Trio Mediaeval program combines their many varied strands of musical exploration: historically informed performance of medieval sacred music, folk music (adapted and arranged by members of the group); contemporary Nordic jazz; specially commissioned works; and improvisation with or without instruments.

 

Trio Mediaeval has toured extensively in Europe and USA, and has visited Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, and most recently, Australia. The trio has been invited to appear on the most prestigious stages in the world, including Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Vienna Konzerthaus, Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.

 

The program will include French medieval music from Notre Dame, Scandinavian traditional religious folk songs, and contemporary works written for them.
