Description
The star-studded vocal group Ecstatic Ensemble was formed on the initiative of Malena Ernman during the pandemic and has, among other things, recorded the concert film "Ecstatic Ensemble Sings Early Music" at the Stockholm Concert Hall. The film was broadcast on Konserthuset Play and was later acquired by SVT, where it was available for viewing during 2023.With the album The Lost Music of Women - from Ancient Times to #metoo, Ecstatic Ensemble takes you on a journey from the breathtaking era of 1400 BCE right up to the present day, featuring music by the women who were not allowed to be noticed. Hear vocal music by the Viking skald Jorunn, Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, and many other unjustly forgotten women. Music from castles, convents, and mountain pastures, in flight from war, revolution, and slavery. All performed a cappella.All the singers in the group have backgrounds in professional choirs such as the Swedish Radio Choir, the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir, and Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir. They are experts in widely differing fields such as early music, Baroque, opera, jazz, and musical theatre. In Ecstatic Ensemble, they are united by a love of vocal harmony.
