ars supernova

medieval jazz –  an experience of timelessness...

Ars nova is the medieval Latin name for the new music of the 13th and 14th centuries. Supernova is the name given to the brief, bright illumination of a star caused by an explosion that destroys the original star. Its luminosity can only be perceived on earth when it no longer exists. ars supernova emerged in 2016 from the collaboration between the internationally renowned prize-winning ensemble for early music LES HAULZ ET LES BAS and jazz musicians from Freiburg.  Since then, the project has developed into an independent permanent formation, played numerous concerts in Germany and abroad and was honoured by Deutschlandradio Kultur with the Erzgebirge Festival Prize for its original arrangements. The musicians prove that the saxophone is the ideal instrument for the ars nova of the 14th century, and that the medieval shawm has exactly the sound that jazz has always been waiting for. With ars supernova, listeners experience magic moments: medieval compositions in new and beautiful arrangements with breathtaking improvisation.

'New directions for early music‘ -  ars supernova  won a CD production with the German national radio station Deutschlandradio Kultur, now released by ahalani records.
