Ecstatic Ensemble, Malena Ernman (mezzo-soprano), Leif Aruhn-Solén, Jeanette Köhn, Sofia Niklasson, David Risberg, Gustav Nordlander, Didier Linder, Olof Akre, Christiane Højlund, Elin Skorup, Sara Niklasson
The acclaimed vocal group Ecstatic Ensemble was founded by Malena Ernman during the pandemic and has quickly established itself as one of the Nordic region's most exciting vocal ensembles. Their debut production, the concert film Ecstatic Ensemble Sings Early Music, was recorded at Stockholm Concert Hall and first streamed on Konserthuset Play before being broadcast by Swedish Television (SVT).
With The Lost Music of Women, Ecstatic Ensemble takes the listener on a musical journey spanning more than three thousand years - from the world's oldest surviving notated music, dating from around 1400 BC, through medieval convents, the Viking Age, the Renaissance, the Baroque and Romantic eras, to the present day. Along the way, we encounter music by women whose voices have long been silenced or forgotten.
