Contre le Temps

Ubi sunt mulieres

Karin Weston, Cécile Walch, Julia Marty, Amy Farnell singers

Contre le Temps
Woman has inspired thinkers, poets and creators for thousands of years with tenderness and charm, beauty and dedication, fragility and sensuality. This talented young vocal quartet turn their kaleidoscope on the Middle Ages, where Mary is enthroned in glory as the virgin, mother and love incarnate. Works by Guillaume Du Fay – the man who heralded the Renaissance – and Hildegard von Bingen, herself one of the most acclaimed women in music history, complete this dazzling tableau.

“they captivated their audience with their medieval artistry” L’ Alsace

This concert is possible thanks to EFFEA’s artist-in-residence ‘Discovery’ programme, in partnership with Flanders Festival Antwerp and European Festival Fund for Emerging Artists.
