About performer: Romeo & Julia Kören is a dramatic renaissance music ensemble. By performing music from the renaissance and early baroque they create theatre concerts as much for the eyes as for the ears. Drama, music and choreography are fused into an expressive, playful, genre-transcending experience. Romeo & Julia Kören’s significant way of performing has been developed by Artistic director Benoît Malmberg over almost three decades and has captivated audiences and critics alike around the world. Since its foundation in 1991 Romeo & Julia Kören has been housed as Artist in residence at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm, where we perform regularly, and has toured more than 35 countries including China, USA, Chile, Russia, Croatia, Italy, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Japan, France, Iceland, Tibet, Mexico, Kurdistan and Germany.
Romeo & Julia Kören has also performed at the Nobel Prize banquet on five separate occasions and at the wedding of Crown Princess Viktoria and Prince Daniel. The sizable repertoire span from Italian, Spanish, English, and French Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces to Slavic songs and fiery Swedish folk tunes, songs that features tender tales of love as well as burlesque comedy. With arrangements specifically written for the ensemble, artistic director Benoît Malmberg dares to challenge the traditional way of performing this music, reviving it and making it speak to an audience of today.
