Cheer for your favourites after a brilliant performance and discover the festival bills of the future before anyone else.
Les Trouveurs
?The French duo Les Trouveurs focuses on medieval music. The ensemble has trained at, among other places, the Centre de musique médiévale de Paris under the direction of Brigitte Lesne. At the same time, the duo aims to champion the a cappella vocal duo format. Since the vast majority of medieval repertoire is vocal, Les Trouveurs seeks to bring this music back to the stage: both sacred music and the secular songs of troubadours and trouvères. In this programme, love songs by the 13th-century troubadour Adam de la Halle take centre stage.
