Trio Mediaeval
Archival Recording from Sunday, March 25, 2007
Audio Program
I was very fortunate to be present at the debut concert of Trio Mediaeval for San Francisco Performances back in 2005, For someone who loves vocal music and early music, the extraordinary clarity of this ensemble took my breath away. And as Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle said about them, “To hear the group’s note-perfect counterpoint is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of.”
SF Performances looks forward to presenting in a future season. Until then I hope you enjoy this memorable concert from one of the group’s previous visits to the Herbst Theatre.
