Trobairitz - Southbank Centre

  • Queen Elizabeth Hall Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XX London United Kingdom (map)

Idrîsî Ensemble reprise their sell-out tribute to the trobairitz, interlacing Armenian, Greek, Roman, French, and Corsican music to capture the spiritual heart of medieval Occitania. Together they give voice to female troubadours - poet-composers on the fringe of medieval Christendom. Idrîsî has developed a stunningly ornate and microtonal form of singing for this ancient repertoire, grounded in medieval treatises and Mediterranean traditions. With never-recorded music, original reconstructions, and Idrîsî’s distinctive flair, this promises to be an entrancing, ear-opening evening.
