Founded and directed by Pedro Memelsdorff, Mala Punica (Latin for pomegranates, symbol of fertility) is a vocal-instrumental ensemble devoted to the Ars nova and Ars subtilior—a luxuriant polyphonic repertoire that spread across Europe at the end of the Middle Ages.
The ensemble’s path-breaking career includes eight recordings and over four-hundred concerts which have completely revolutionized the repertoire, changed accepted views and established new standards in the performance of medieval music, as well as reviving neglected composers such as Paolo da Firenze, Matteo da Perugia, Antonello and Filippotto da Caserta or Antonio Zacara da Teramo.
Mala Punica has performed in many of the most renowned venues, early-music festivals, and classical series throughout Europe and North and South America. This includes the Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Queen Elizabeth Hall at Southbank in London, the Théâtre de la Ville and Cité de la Musique in Paris, the Festwochen der Alten Musik in Innsbruck, the December Nights in Moscow, the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, the Lucerne Festival and the Early Music Festivals of St Petersburg, York, Utrecht, Boston, Mexico City, Bogotá, Antwerp, Saintes and New York.
