The brilliant young Scandinavian sopranos of Trio Mediæval have developed a fascinating and unique sound continuum in which they move with unerring virtuosity. Founded in Oslo in 1997, Trio Mediæval specialises in diverse repertoire that features polyphonic medieval music from England, France and Italy, contemporary works written for the ensemble, and traditional Norwegian ballads and songs. The Trio delights in performing new music and collaborates with composers as well as with a broad range of artists, including the Hilliard Ensemble, jazz pianist Tord Gustavsen, and video artist Signe Klejs.

‘Trio Mediæval criss-crosses centuries with a tantalizing program .... One thread that binds all these disparate compositions together is a fascination with the power of human voices alone, and Trio Mediæval presents a shining example of just how enthralling that sound can be.’ Billboard Magazine
