Ensemble Dragma

Ensemble Dragma is a musical group specializing in medieval music, consisting of highly regarded musicians Agnieszka Budzińska-Bennett, Jane Achtman, and Marc Lewon. Their repertoire includes works from the 15th century, such as the music of Heinrich Laufenberg, a poet-musician from that era. Ensemble Dragma has been involved in several notable projects, including a recording of Laufenberg's works, which involved reconstructing fragments of his compositions that were lost over time. They have also released albums like "The Krasiński Codex," which focuses on 15th-century music from Cracow, and "Song of Beasts," which combines medieval music and iconography to immerse listeners in a rich historical context.

The ensemble's approach to music is deeply rooted in historical research and reconstruction, often incorporating instrumental arrangements and intabulations, which were popular practices during the medieval period. Their work not only highlights the musical heritage of the past but also provides a modern audience with a unique glimpse into the cultural and artistic expression of medieval Europe. Ensemble Dragma's collaborations with other musicians and ensembles, such as Ensemble Peregrina, further underscore their commitment to showcasing the beauty and complexity of early music.
