"If you were music, I would listen to you ceaselessly, and my low spirits would brighten up." - Anna Akhmatova

La Ninfea (Italian the water lily) “is one of the liveliest and most creative early music ensembles in Germany.” (Radio Bremen) The ensemble feels just as at home in renowned venues such as the Musikverein Wien or the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg as it does in small music societes or schools. This is because La Ninfea is convinced that music belongs to all places and can fascinate everyone, everywhere. La Ninfea's work focuses on concept-based programs, often developed as interdisciplinary projects with puppetry, text or dance, and thus reaches various people interested in culture in a direct and creative way. Historically informed performance practice, detailed research and creative communication do not contradict each other, rather combination they are the driving force for the ensemble. “This is how music should be performed: as if the ink wasn't yet dry, spontaneous and fresh, but with the most precise research beforehand.” (Oe1)
