Before we start the broadcasts of our recordings from the Utrecht Early Music Festival 2018 we return to two earlier editions of the festival in Concertzender Live on Friday 21 September at 15:00 CET. The programme features two recordings: 
A concert by Dialogos led by Katarina Livljanić from 2017, and a concert by Graindelavoix led by Björn Schmelzer from 2008. Graindelavoix was also the curator in residence during the 2018 festival.
A voyage of discovery
The research done by the Croation singer Katarina Livljanić, means that every concert by Diagolos becomes a voyage of discovery. Her programme for Dialogos and Kantaduri during the 2017 festival took as its starting point the remarkable incriptions on the gravestones and relics of the mediaeval church in Bosnia. The concert combines melodies from the Bosnian liturgy with local folk music and was performed together with the traditional group Kantaduri led by the singer Josko Caleta.
Graindelavoix
Graindelavoix led by Björn Schmelzer was the curator in residence for the 2018 festival and this vocal ensemble was able to use the Janskerk in Utrecht for a period of 5 days as a studio for musical experimentation.
During the 2008 festival Graindelavoix also presented a programme of music from Burgundy focussing on the music from the court of Philip the Fair and Joanna the Mad. The Missa de Sancta Maria Magdalena by Nicolas Champion forms the centrepiece of the concert.
Broadcast: Friday 21 September 2018, 15.00 – 17.00 CET
