Since the beginning of time, men have gone in search of their ideals. Many a road has been travelled in search of fulfilment, especially spiritual fulfilment. And thus history, legend, and beliefs were created.

​

What about women in all this? They are a source of inspiration, they sigh for those who go on a crusade, encourage them, yearn for their lovers and pray devoutly for on their behalf.

Songs of women in love, songs and dances to the Virgin Mary, music from female monasteries, crusade songs, compositions for female performers – woman is everywhere.

​

Once again the Ensemble Alkymia gives a new take on contemporary music thanks on this occasion to its relationship to the Middle Ages, a mirror that reflects poetry but also strength, timelessness, passion and above all depth.

​

Instrumental and vocal music that extols the timelessness of faith.

Belief, hope, expectation: this faith is embodied in many forms; Here it is made tangible in passionate musical affirmation of life. The early repertoire is extended with contemporary compositions, improvisations and modified ambient sounds. A veritable journey of the soul.
