Overview
Trio Mediæval, founded in Oslo in 1997, has attracted a cult following to sacred and secular works from the distant past.
The female vocal trio’s discography for ECM Records includes everything from polyphony and thirteenth-century Worcester and Scandinavian folksongs to contemporary compositions by William Brooks and Andrew Smith.
This late-night programme casts shadows of forgotten ancestors and evokes the mystical traditions of medieval worship.
The evening continues in the Wigmore Hall Bar with music by the Dorian Ford: Without Words Trio from 11:15 pm.
