Virelai

Virelai is based in Denmark and plays music from the middle ages and from the Danish folk tradition. The repertoire includes dancing melodies from the south of Europe as well as old Nordic ballads and songs.

Through the Nordic ballads and Central Europe dance tunes we work with the Nordic and European music roots, the popular medieval. And the experience of the music compositions and sound, played on old instruments, awakens something recognizable to people, something we have in common.

Virelai was founded in 1999 .We took the name Virelai, an Old French name for the beauty of music, dance and poetry. Virelai has in years past been stuck looking at this summer's medieval markets in Odense, Horsens, Enø and Bornholm, where we have helped to deliver the soundtrack to the authentic medieval atmosphere that has been created here. We are also the house band at Brøndby Medieval Center. Over 200 concerts in museums, festivals, venues, schools and medieval markets in Denmark, Sweden and Central Europe it has become.
