Event info

Brák Baroque ensemble along with singers Mathias Spoerry and Jóhanna Halldórsdóttir will invite the audience for a travel back in time, back a few hundred years to a time far from the hustle and bustle of modern society, a time when the silence and darkness was so overwhelming that the pureness of the human voice alone could give much comfort in the darkest hours of the winter night. The early music singers Mathias and Johanna are both specialised in early music, Jóhanna Halldórsdóttir studied early music in Trossingen Germany and Mathias Spoerry specialised in medieval performance practice in Sorbonne Paris and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (Basel, Switzerland). Together with the Brák Baroque Ensemble they will perform English songs from the renaissance and early baroque period, such as John Dowlands "Go Nightly Cares" and Henry Lawes "A tale out of Anacreon". The singers will also bring the audience some late medieval duets and Brák Baroque ensemble will then perform instrumental music from the renaissance era.
