Lost Polyphonies

Lost Polyphonies is a program of the earliest polyphonic traditions from France, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, England and Greece, performed alongside contemporary works composed in response to these chant traditions. It showcases an array of radically divergent early polyphonic traditions, including several new transcriptions of polyphonic works which have not been performed for over 300 years.
Named after a Slavic polyphonic chant tradition, Demestvo is a quartet founded by Princeton Musicology PhD student and soprano Anastasia Shmytova. Conceived as part of her dissertation research on Medieval Slavic chant and early polyphony, Demestvo is committed to bringing the unique sound world of this unheard music to contemporary audiences.
