Peregryne

Peregryne is a small vocal ensemble established in Vienna in 2009 that specialises in performing rarely heard church music, particularly large scale late-medieval Marian antiphons often taken from the Eton choirbook (c.1500). Over the past nine years, its international membership has drawn together musicians from Ireland, England, France, Austria, Germany, Denmark and Korea.

The group has performed in Ireland, England, Austria and Switzerland including a tour to Graz and Vienna in 2014 and a week’s residency at Bristol cathedral in 2015. Peregryne won the RTÉ Lyric FM Choirs for Christmas competition with Palestrina, Hodie Christus natus est in 2014 and most recently sang a ‘Service of the Word’ on RTÉ 1 television and RTÉ Radio 1, broadcast on Sunday 5 August 2018.
