Biografie

Vocale polyfone muziek uit de Renaissance  is het handelsmerk van het Lagrime Consort. Het trio wordt geinspireerd door de muziek van Leonard Barré, met name door zijn compositie “Lagrime Meste”, een zeer gevoelig en expessief ( ook qua tekst) lied vol verdriet zoals vele liederen uit de Renaissance. Het doel van het Lagrime Consort is de melodische lijnen en de schilderachtige poezie van de late middeleeuwen door het pure geluid en timbre van de blokfluiten tot uitdrukking te brengen.

 

Verena Barie, Sophia Schambeck and Irene Sorozábal met in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam as students of Erik Bosgraaf. While specialising in the vocal repertoire of this period, Consort Lagrime has worked with singer Rebecca Stewart, as well as recorder players María Martínez Ayerza and Hester Groenleer and performed with the choir Capella Stella Maris, led by singer Mikae Natsuyama.
