Rune, a recently established medieval ensemble, is dedicated to delving into the world of music of the Middle Ages. The word 'rune' (from the Old English 'rūn') means, among other things, a mystical spell-song. Resting beneath our modern conception of the medieval resides a host of musical practices - improvised, composed, and often both - that challenge us, engage us and touch us. Rune ensemble brings the mysteries of this ancient and mystical music to life with informed practices and creativity.

Since meeting for the first time through Medieval Carols at St Bartholomew-the-Great, Rune was formed with the aid of the late Deborah Roberts and the Brighton Early Music Festival. They were featured in the 2023 Brighton Early Music Festival Live! Young Artist Scheme.
