Since founded, LA MORRA has researched,
prepared and performed a number of concert programmes covering
a wide range of styles. The main strands of the ensemble's work
have been:
- polyphony, northwards and southwards
of the Alps, c1400-early 1500s
- 'ars nova' and 'ars subtilior' of the 14th century
- musical culture of Central and Eastern Europe, c1400-c1500
- textless and instrumental music before c1500
- Latin and vernacular monody and polyphony c1200-c1300 (to lesser extend)
LA MORRA's concert programmes fall within two categories: (1) freely developed thematic creations, and (2) thematic creations tailored to the event's topic or motto.
Presenters considering offering
a concert of LA MORRA in their events are
strongly encouraged to look at the following pre-configured
programme proposals first.
Currently available proposals:
CONCENTUS ANGELORUM
Sacred Polyphony from Northern Europe, 1400-1500

Requests for
custom-made concert programmes are welcome.
Please describe your idea and we will be happy to prepare for
you a programme proposal including calculation of costs.
PLEASE NOTE: developing new programmes is a
time-consuming process; also, you want to ensure ensemble's availability;
therefore, please submit your request at least 12 months prior to

but will only be accepted if availability and time capacities
are sufficient. An extra fee may apply.
