La Morra
This international early music ensemble was formed
over 10 years ago from students at the Schola
Cantorum Basiliensis. After its successful debut
at the International Young Artist’s Presentation
in Antwerp in 2000, it adopted an active concert
schedule all over Europe (Germany, France,
Switzerland, Estonia, Finland, Spain, Great Britain,
Poland, Cyprus), taking part in such major music
festivals as the Festival van Vlaanderen, Festival de
Wallonie, Netwerk Oude Muziek, Holland Festival
Oude Muziek, Rencontres de Musique Médiévale
du Thoronet, Freunde alter Musik Basel, Tage
alter Musik, and Autunno Musicale. Their careful
selection of repertoire backed by research, their
virtuosity, and tasteful interpretations has brought
the group great renown, as well as recognition
from audiences and critics. Last season, the La
Morra ensemble, together with the Coro della
Radiotelevisione Svizzera (Lugano), took part in
a television production entitled Farsa del Barba,
presenting early Renaissance Italian music, as well
as presenting a monographic program devoted to
the music of Johannes Ciconia at the Church of
St. John the Evangelist in Liège, with which the
Flemish composer was associated in his childhood.
La Morra has recorded four enthusiastically
received albums for the following labels: Ramée,
Raumklang, Et’Cetera and Musiques Suisses. This
season, their plans include three more recording
projects with Flemish and Spanish music.
