Wrocław Baroque Ensemble listing on Broadway Baby

Discover the sound of the Polish Renaissance with this stunning 17th-century choral piece by Mikoaj Zieleski.

The prize-winning Wrocaw Baroque Ensemble specialises in music from the Polish Renaissance and Baroque eras. Dedicated to bringing forgotten music to a wider audience, they bring to life a little-known epic choral work.

Under the baton of Andrzej Kosendiak, one of the most active organisers of musical life in Poland, the Wrocaw Baroque Ensemble vividly recreates the sounds of Renaissance Poland. In their recital, they present a stunning 17th-century choral work performed on historically accurate instruments.

The life of Polish composer Mikoaj Zieleski remains a mystery to modern audiences, but the few works he left behind are imbued with stunning charm. The ensemble have hand-picked a variety of pieces from his substantial Offertoria et Communiones totius anni, a group of some 117 individual pieces dating from 1611, ranging in mood from celebratory to solemn.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
