The band:

Flor Enversa ("the inverse flower", according to a song of Raimbaut of Orange) proposes to recreate the festive and poetic atmosphere of troubadour encounters in the courtyards of the castles of southern France in the 12th and 13th centuries. These poet-musicians sang love, joy, sorrow or hope, in poems with chiseled language and sublime melodies. The fin'amor and the values ​​of cortesia inspired them, and sometimes the domna (Lady) herself becomes trobairitz (troubadour-woman) and composes herself.


Flor Enversa is Domitille Vigneron, Thierry Cornillon and Olivier Feraud, passionate about troubadour lyrics. Singers, instrumentalists and researchers, they revive with a concern for authenticity and sincerity these cansos, real jewels of our culture.


Thierry Cornillon: singing, flute
Olivier Féraud: bow viule, lute novel, kaval
Domitille Vigneron: Vieces with bow
