ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE
Old instruments.
Living stories.
The joy of early music has brought us together since 1993. We revive Czech and European songs from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods, giving a new voice to old folk melodies.
We combine classical instruments with replicas of historical ones. Their distinctive sounds, period costumes and spoken introductions bring the world of the past closer through music.
