Mediva: O in Italia
O in Italia: a Summer Holiday with Italian Sunshine and Medieval Music
Mediva:
Ann Allen shawm, recorder & doucaine
Adrien Reboisson shawm, recorder & doucaine
Maxine Fiorani percussion
Let Mediva transport you to sunny Italy with an upbeat programme of beautiful love songs and exotic dances, performed on a plethora of Medieval wind instruments and percussion. It features trecento music by Francesco Landini, Jacopo da Bologna, Andrea da Firenze and the ubiquitous Anonymous.
Featuring an international lineup of virtuosos, Mediva has been delighting and stimulating audiences with their innovative approach to Medieval music for more than 20 years. Its SVF debut, at Christmas 2017, was a memorable occasion, bringing joyous performances of English Medieval music to a snowy Dedham.‘Mediva provided the energy and grace to bring centuries-old songs alive again’, Brighton Argus
