“Queen among the heather“ - Nordic ballads of the Middle Ages

This year, Triphonia, the Berlin trio for medieval music, is not performing a Christmas program at St. Peter's Church, but is instead taking the audience into the world of northern European folk ballads, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages.


English, Swedish and German ballads, songs and dance songs will be heard with exciting stories about dangerous robbers and mysterious supernatural beings in the forest, the love between a knight and a shepherdess or the murderous hatred between sisters.

Of course, in arrangements typical for Triphonia for one to three-part singing, accompanied with a variety of tonal colors by medieval instruments such as flutes, platerspel, chamois horns, fiddles, Romanesque harps, hurdy-gurdies, dulcimers and percussion.


  • Amanda Simmons: vocals, Romanesque harp
  • Gaby Bultmann: vocals, flute, platerspel, fiddle, hurdy-gurdy, dulcimer
  • Leila Schoeneich: vocals, flute, gemshorn, percussion

Admission: 16 €
