About Flos Vernalis Medieval Music

One-woman act performing medieval music on voice and portative organ. Are you in search of some great music for your medieval-themed event?
Singer
Motherwell

Have you ever heard a portative organ? This medieval instrument produces a versatile sound that is perfect for both soft, intimate song and quick-paced, louder dance music. If you are putting together a medieval fair, re-enactment or event, or just want to have something different at your wedding or corporate event that will sparkle the curiosity of your guests, please get in touch and let's create your dream programme together. My repertoire includes medieval music from the 9th to the 15th century, either on organ only, or organ plus voice. I can also arrange and learn your favourite tunes, whether they are from 822 or 2022! I also run medieval singing and music workshops, and taster sessions for small groups on the portative organ. Get in touch if you want to give your guests an opportunity to try something different!
