The Unicorn Ensemble, known for their exquisite exploration of medieval and Renaissance music, serves as a bridge to the past, offering modern listeners a taste of the rich tapestry of sounds that characterized Europe before the Baroque period. Their meticulous performances, often based on scholarly research, illuminate the works of both known and obscure composers, bringing to life the melodies that once echoed through the halls of royalty and the cobblestone streets of ancient cities.

Established by instrumentalist and music director Michael Posch, the ensemble frequently collaborates with renowned musicologists to recreate authentic musical experiences. Their discography is a testament to their dedication, with albums such as "Art & Music: Raphael - Music of His Time," which offers a sonic counterpart to the works of the great painter, and "Carmina Burana," which revisits the secular songs of medieval monks, students, and minstrels. Unicorn Ensemble's ability to unearth and perform works such as those found in the "Codex Faenza" or the secular polyphony of "Agricola: Fortuna Desperata" has not only earned them a dedicated following but also cemented their status as one of the premier ensembles dedicated to the music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
