Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, England
Belinda Sykes voice/director
Jennie Cassidy voice
Dessislava Stefanova voice

Clare Salaman fidel
Riccardo Delfino harp
Known for gritty, high-energy performances, Joglaresa return to the RNCM for this concert of music that traces Mary Magdalene’s progress from prostitute to saint.
Blessed with four intertwining voices and the hypnotic improvised accompaniments of hurdy-gurdy, fidel and harp, Joglaresa perform songs in medieval Latin, French and Greek that reflect the diverse attitude of writers towards this charismatic and compelling woman.
