Ordo Virtutum

Ordo Virtutum

Ensemble Ordo Virtutum achieves the impossible. With the help of advanced software and amplification, they reconstruct the acoustics of historical spaces. In the medieval music they sing live, you can hear successively the acoustics of the Abbey of Cluny, the Maulbronn monastery and the 9th-century church of St Gallen. A strong example of (virtually) putting music back where it originally belonged.
