Sequentia Ensemble For Medieval Music Tickets

Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music is a pioneering group dedicated to performance of text‑driven medieval repertoire with dramaturgical clarity. Founded in 1977 in Basel by Benjamin Bagby and Barbara Thornton, the ensemble has become a leading voice in the exploration of chant, epic poetry, and monastic laments across the medieval period. Over the decades, Sequentia has collaborated with influential interpreters such as Katarina Livljanic and honored longtime member Agnethe Christensen (2001–2014, passed away in 2024). Their work blends scholarly research with live storytelling to illuminate medieval texts for modern audiences.

Known for expansive Hildegard von Bingen projects, Sequentia’s repertoire includes the dramatic canticles, the Ordo Virtutum cycle, and other text-driven works that highlight the composer’s visionary spirituality. The ensemble’s Hildegard catalog is award‑winning, and culminated in a nine‑CD box set released by Sony in 2017, a landmark for early music enthusiasts. Their approach emphasizes clear diction, historical performance practice, and dramaturgical storytelling.

For fans and new listeners alike, Sequentia offers engaging concerts that weave ancient melodies with contemporary resonance. Their work has earned recognition in the UK and beyond, including chart presence for Hildegard recordings and ongoing critical acclaim for live interpretation of medieval narratives.
