Early Music Vancouver presents Sequentia: Gregorius
Benjamin Bagby, known for his performance of Beowulf, returns to Vancouver with the astonishing medieval verse epic Gregorius, “The Holy Sinner”. A narrative poem of sin and redemption, Gregorius retells the legend of St. Gregory the Great.
Bagby is joined by his medieval music ensemble Sequentia, known for their innovative, intimate, and enchanting performances of ancient texts ranging from Hildegard von Bingen to the Icelandic Edda. Sequentia’s virtuosic performances are compelling, surprising in their immediacy, and strike the listener with a timeless emotional connection to our own past musical cultures.
Sequentia artists: Benjamin Bagby, voice and harp; Jasmina Črnčič, voice and harp, and Lukas Papenfusscline, voice
