Since its foundation in 1997, Dialogos, the vocal ensemble directed and created by Katarina Livljanic, has emerged as one of the most outstanding and original medieval music ensembles of the new generation. The ensemble’s projects link new musicological research with an innovative approach to medieval music performance, a theatrical dimension, and an expressive musicality. Dialogos is composed of women’s or men’s vocal ensembles, depending on each specific project. Since its first projects Dialogos has been acclaimed by critics (in journals such as Le Monde, Le Figaro, Diapason, The New York Times…) and has toured in most European countries, in the USA, Canada, North Africa and Latin America, in all the major early music festivals (Saintes, Utrecht, Ambronay, Royal Festival Hall of London, Metropolitain Museum and Lincoln Center in New York, Cité de la Musique in Paris, Quinçena Musical de San Sebastián, Festival de Música Antigua de Barcelona, Edinburgh International Festival…),including radio and television broadcasts.
Their CDs Terra Adriatica (released on the Empreinte digitale label), Lombards & Barbares and La Vision de Tondal (released on the Arcana label), Chant Wars (a coproduction with the ensemble Sequentia, released on the Sony-BMG label) have received press distinctions in international music magazines, including Diapason d’or, Choc du Monde de la musique, Goldberg 5 stars. Mécénat Musical Société Générale is the principal sponsor of the ensemble Dialogos. Dialogos also receives subsidies from the DRAC Ilede- France - Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. Dialogos is ensemble-in-residence at the Fondation Royaumont (2011-2014).
