TRIO MEDIÆVAL (Norvegia)
(Norvegia)
con Arve Henriksen tromba
From the thriving Scandinavian music scene, this concert combines the ancient with the modern in a seductive game of temporal references where Nordic folklore and medieval music blend with improvisation and technology. Trio Mediæval, born in 1997 and recording albums for the ECM label, has a repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to contemporary Gavin Bryars, from Norwegian folk melodies to xii-xiii century songs. The vocal trio is complemented by the trumpet of Arve Henriksen, a leading exponent of the contemporary North European jazz scene, whose instrument often uses electronica to construct soundscapes which are either in open conflict or in perfect harmony with the singers’ voices.
