Fringe: Serpentine.iii

Fringe: Serpentine.iii

This concert is part of the free fringe programme of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2026.

Serpentine.iii is an ensemble performing early and contemporary music on historical instruments. Active as a trio since 2022, it expanded into a five-piece ensemble in 2025 within a collective connecting music and visual art. Its members, graduates of leading London conservatoires, explore the dialogue between past and present. Blending classical, folk and contemporary influences, Serpentine.iii aims to introduce early music to new audiences while developing new repertoire for period instruments.
