This unique medieval band from South Devon bring the music of Chaucer’s times into the 21st century in a captivating and vibrant evening of high energy music, tender love songs and improvisation.

Compagnie Giulia’s five band members, including former ELO cello player Mike Edwards, combine their wealth of knowledge of the European and Levantine classical, early and folk traditions with instruments as varied as the bass viol, Greek bouzouki, Turkish saz and mandolin.

Their latest performance, ‘Far Beyonden the Sea’ includes music from the time of the crusades, music from countries bordering the Mediterranean and newly composed songs to Middle English lyrics.
What their audiences have said:
“Vital, compelling, life enhancing music”
“I didn’t know medieval music could be so captivating”
