COMTESSA is a Montreal-based ensemble that brings the music of the 11th to 15th centuries to life through dynamic performances and meticulous research. Using medieval period instruments, the ensemble offers audiences an immersive journey into the soundscapes of medieval music. Featuring women and nonbinary performers, COMTESSA showcases a fresh perspective on this timeless repertoire.
"I don't believe angels exist, but if they did this music and particularly the singer would be exactly what they sound like. I really enjoyed this concert."
"Music does something to calm the nervous system, brings joy, and engages the audience. Hat's Off! Thank you. As an 82 year old woman, it makes me feel alive, keeps me learning, engages me with others."
"It more than met my expectations because I did not know there would be someone singing and they have a fabulous voice."
"I wasn't sure what to expect. Here we have early music of Europe. So interesting to hear the basis of the Newfoundland music like the Barra MacNeil's. Len's voice is incredibly clear. I could listen to them all day."
