Grammy-nominated trio sings new mass in Mallorca

A new mass gets a second Mallorca performance on Wednesday, 11 November: Grammy-nominated Norwegian group Trio Mediæval sings in Binissalem, Mallorca, after its premiere in Palma, Mallorca, on Tuesday.

At Santa Creu church, the trio’s three singers performed Lux in Tenebris with its composer, Christos Barbas. He played the ney, a reed flute from the Middle East. Barbas wrote the contemporary mass for choir and ney, drawing on passages from Ramon Llull’s Llibre d’Amic i Amat.

The work won the first international grant for artistic creation and residency from the Laboratori Llull at the Estudi General Lul·lià. Trio Mediæval’s music ranges from medieval sacred works to Nordic jazz and folk songs.

The next performance is at Santa Maria de Robines church in Binissalem at 20.00 on Wednesday. The Estudi General Lul·lià and the Directorate-General for Culture organised both concerts, with support from the Council of Mallorca, Binissalem Town Council and the two parishes.
