PAMPINEA
"LIFEM's young ensemble competition was deservedly won by Basel-based trio Ensemble Pampinea.
The judges not only praised their musicianship but applauded their ability to engage with their audience.
One of their prizes is a full concert at next year's festival - I can't wait to hear it.“
Review from the Greenwich visitor by Miles Hedley, November 2022
Ensemble Pampinea, an award-winning early music ensemble, specialises in delivering historically-inspired concert programmes of Medieval and Renaissance music that connect music, literature and art and encourage engagement from audience with all ages.
2022 Winner, London Early Music Young Ensemble Competition
2023 Finalist, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci
2023 Semi-finalist, International Van Wassaener Competition
The musicians of Ensemble Pampinea met one another during their studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Here they had the opportunity to explore the extensive repertoire of medieval music and to learn about the possibilities of a colourful arrangement through the use of various historical instruments. The trio plays recorder, fiddle, pipe and tabor, double recorder, organetto, as well as clavisimbalum. With the programme entitled "Fortuna, will you spare us?", the ensemble presents the repertoire of Ars Nova and Ars Subtilior in a charming interaction with the audience, who decide the fates of the concert. Their programme "Decameron" is inspired by Boccaccio's novel and presents Florentine composers from the Trecento period.
The Ensemble performed at prestigious venues and festivals such as the London International Early Music Festival, Seviqc Brezice, Musica Cortese, Flores Musicae and Muzej občine Šenčur, among other places. The exciting 2024 London and Cornwall concert tour line-up is also available now, please click and check!
