Brocelïande, Celtic and Early Music Ensemble

Brocelïande will return to Caltech with their Celtic music from the British isles and the Medieval and Renaissance music of the European courts and countrysides, much of which has an emphasis on music inspired by or traditionally performed during each of the four seasons. Featuring stellar vocal and instrumental harmonies, their entrancing sound is built on the interweaving of up to 3-part vocals with the lyrical music of the Celtic harp, octave mandolin, cello, 12-string guitar, recorders, flute, gamba, whistle, percussion, and more!

Their seasonal repertoire includes original arrangements of traditional and Early music and ranges in feel from upbeat Irish dances to beautiful ballads and exciting a capella madrigals. Their evocative lyrics, including some in Medieval French and Portuguese, speak of love and longing, quests and revels, magic and transformation.

Brocelïande has performed throughout the West Coast for the past decade or so, giving performances in formal concerts, at club venues, festivals, house concerts, colleges and universities, as well as live radio performances and private functions. Their delight is, through evocative and sometimes obscure historical means, to uplift the audience and provide a sonic sanctuary for all. They specialize in seasonal fare, honoring the elements of Nature and celebrating the human experience. Intimate, acoustic, live performances suit them very well. Their numerous CDs have reached many corners of the planet, and they have garnered fans from near and far!
