Imagine the world of the Middle Ages…. this programme lives up to all your medieval fantasies; knights, ladies, lovers, nightingales, minstrels and unicorns. Joglaresa present some of the most beautiful medieval melodies from the courtly love-drenched world of the trouvères.

Early Music’s “bit of rough” — this UK based early music band sounds more like a street band than a solemn early music group – Joglaresa embodies the boldness and chutzpah that gets straight to the heart of medieval music.
Comprising outstanding international performers from classical, world, folk and jazz, Joglaresa has a sound that is at once traditional and contemporary – combining elements of Medieval, Middle Eastern, Flamenco and Celtic Music, they create a unique sound that is both extrovert and intimate.

“Irresistibly catchy tunes, compulsive rhythmic energy, luxuriantly ornamental solos” (Daily Telegraph)

“Thrilling and haunting” (The Times)
