The Ensemble Unicorn consists of five musicians specialising in early music. Together with guest-musicians the ensemble is dedicated to the interpretation of music from the Middle Ages to the Baroque and of works of their own. The aim is always lively authenticity, avoiding the merely pedantic. An original feature of the ensemble is the approach towards contemporary popular music in new compositions and interpretations of medieval and Renaissance works, played on original instruments. The compositions by the ensemble are based on medieval and Renaissance dances, cantigas and chansons, reflecting the amalgamation of oriental and European cultural trends.
