Grammy-nominated Group to Perform at Brevard College’s Porter Center for Performing Arts

Norwegian vocal ensemble Trio Mediaeval will perform at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 29 at the Brevard College Porter Center for Performing Arts.

The 2009 Grammy-nominated trio – Anna Maria Friman, Linn Andrea Fuglseth and Torunn Ostrem Ossum – will present a program entitled “Lova Line,” songs and ballads from Norway and England, including three Marian songs written for the trio by Andrew Smith.

Founded in Oslo in 1997, Trio Mediaeval has developed three distinct strands of repertoire: polyphonic medieval music from England and France, contemporary works and Norwegian medieval ballads and songs. The group's initial phase was inspired by intense periods of work at the Hilliard Summer Festival in England and Germany and subsequently with Linda Hirst and John Potter. The trio has had the pleasure of performing in more than 25 states around the country.

To date, the trio has released four albums: Soir, dit-elle; Words of the Angels; Stella Maris; and Folk Songs. Folk Songs received a 2009 Grammy nomination as “best chamber music performance.”

Performance tickets are now available at the price of $20 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased from 10:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Porter Center Box Office.
