About this concert
‘O Guillaume, the earthly god of harmony. After your accomplishments, who will be thought the best of all poets? Surely, I don’t know who.’ This eulogy to Guillaume de Machaut by Eustache Deschamps shows that he was not only highly regarded as a composer but also as a wordsmith. La Morra honours this fourteenth-century superstar with an anthology of chansons and motets.

About the performers
La Morra is an international vocal-instrumental formation specialised in the performance of late Medieval and early Renaissance music. The ensemble was founded in 2000 and named after a famous instrumental fantasia by Heinrich Isaac. Under the joint artistic leadership of Corina Marti and Michal Gondko, wishing to reflect the wealth of early repertoires it approaches, La Morra re-configures itself according to their varying requirements.
Michal Gondko is founder and artistic co-director of La Morra, an ensemble widely recognised for its renditions of late Medieval and early Renaissance repertoire. Concert tours have taken him to most European countries, as well as to the USA, the Middle East, China and Japan. He has shared the stage with such musicians as Dame Emma Kirkby and Jordi Savall, and regularly performs lute duets with lutenist Nigel North.
