The ensemble of medieval music Laterna Magica - presentation of the second album «Iberica»

The ensemble of medieval music Laterna Magica opens a new concert season in presentation of the second album «Iberica» in the State Academic Chapel of St.-Petersburg.

Ensemble «Laterna Magica», or «Magic Lantern» (St. Petersburg, Russia), specializes in performing Western-European music of Middle Ages. «Laterna Magica» combines original sounds of the period instruments with experiments in interpretation.

The ensemble unifies freedom, coming out of the performers’ experience in playing Classical, Baroque, Rock, Folk, and Jazz music, with self-restriction resulting from the keen stylefeeling. Non-academic voices add genuine expression to the ensemble’s work.

Ekaterina Bonfeld — medieval flutes, cornamusa
Olga Komok — voice, hurdy-gurdy, portative organ
