Micrologus was first...

In our press-release, we state that "Spinato intorno al cor" is the first available CD-portrait of Zacara. We have now found out that Micrologus has already released a CD solely dedicated to the music of Zacara. We knew it was in the making, but since on the ensemble´s website it is marked as soon to be released, we supposed it was not yet on the market. A couple of the songs they have recorded can also be heard on our CD. We encourage all our listeners to get acquainted with their record, parts of which seem to have been posted on youtube.

Currentes´ first CD available from LAWO

After a bit of a delay, our first CD has finally been released from LAWO Classics! Spinato intorno al cor is devoted entirely to the music of Antonio Zacara da Teramo (ca1365-1416). It is the first available CD-portrait of this significant Roman composer, and includes a biographical text by the renowned musicologist and Zacara-expert Francesco Zimei. You can read more about the CD here, and order it directly from LAWO or from any of the major CD-stores.

Review of concert in Prachatice

Currentes´ concert in Prachatice last year was reviewed by Lukáš Vytlačil in the October issue of the major Czech magazine for classical music, Hudební rozhledy. If you know Czech, you can read the entire review here. If you, as we, have some trouble understanding this beautiful language, a couple of highlights have been translated and posted on our "press"-page.

Arts Council Norway, FIB and SHF

2011 ended with good news for Currentes: We will receive support from Arts Council Norway also in 2012. This means we can continue to invest our time and energy in developping programmes that are out of the ordinary. We are also proud to announce that we will perform for Bergen International Festival on June 1st, and for St. Wenceslas Music Festival on October 12th and 13th.

New soundclips, programme descriptions and photos

We have renewed our programme descriptions, and finally uploaded a few excerpts from our very-very-soon-to-be-released CD "Spinato intorno al cor". If you like them, chances are good you can get the CD before Christmas. There are also a few new photos, taken by Hans Knut Sveen during Bergen Medieval Music Days September 2011.
