is a group of five young musicians, who are actively engaged with Medieval music and that of the Renaissance. Their work however, is also focused on Contemporary music and on finding the connection between the elements of Early and Contemporary music. Katharina Lugmayr, Maja Osojnik and Thomas List, who play the recorder founded the ensemble while still in the midst of their studies with Hans Maria Kneihs at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. They expanded their knowledge by partaking in further studies and master courses with Matthias Weilenmann, Pedro Memelsdorff, Dan Laurin, Kees Boeke, Gerd Lünenbürger and Han Tol. In the last few years the cast of the ensemble has grown, as two new members, Agnes Heginger, a jazz singer and Eva Reiter, a viola da gamba and recorder player joined the trio. In year 2007 a new singer, a beautiful soprano Theresa Dlouhy replaces Agnes Heginger. While composing their concert programs, the musicians pay special
attention to forming a connection between the virtuoso compositions and
sensual, subtlest music, which they passionately interpret on their
historical instruments. Their
highly active and numerous performances have led the ensemble to appear
in concerts in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Poland and Italy as well as
at Vienna Recorder Days (Wiener Blockflötentagen) and “Hörgängen”
in the “Wiener Konzerthaus”, the ISCM World-Music-Days 2003, at the
Festival of Early music in Brezice (Slovenia), the Festival di Musica
Antica in Bolzano (Italy), the Festival Aqua Musica in Amsterdam/Netherlands,
the Festival Laus Polipholiae in Antwerp/Belgium and the Festival
Wratislavia Cantans in Polen.
