Early Music Ensemble

Our ensemble was founded in 2000. Our objective is to present and make known in concerts, shows and other cultural events medieval, renaissance and early baroque music and other genres of music in connection with Hungarians, ever played in the territory of the historical Hungary. In our concerts we especially deal with the musical memories of our national traditions and historical past, therefore, we most of all play historical instruments and according to faithful contemporary instrumentation. It is especially interesting with early Hungarian music as in that case the archaic elements of today's Hungarian folk music also occur during performances.
Early music is a very manifold, very widely interpretable notion. In fact, there are much more differences between the works of a late renaissance English lute virtuoso and a Hungarian verse chronicle-teller than it could be looking at the decades and geographical distance between them. Therefore the often incomplete musico-historical data that relate to the music of the age leave a lot to the performer. This is what makes the style of an early music group individual and original, this is what makes the genre diverse. Along with the basic instruments, we have had to play some more interesting, special folk instruments, which also adds to the atmosphere of concerts and the credibility of the performance.
We regularly introduce instruments to the audience at our performances.
The ensemble's club has been in Budapest since 2004 where, drinking a nice cup of tea, everybody can get familiar with the music of past ages on a Monday every month.
Our ensemble has permanent members and, depending on the individual features of our programmes, several regular participants.
