Music in a Well

Looming ahead is the sixth edition of the Music in a Well series of old (Renaissance and Baroque) music concerts held in townhouses and townhouse courtyards in the Wilda district of Poznań by youth city's musicians specialising in historical renditions.

The organisers will take advantage of the inherent acoustics of historic tenement houses and the "home" settings of the Wilda district's courtyards, staircases, and gateways, turning them into concert venues to reach out to their dwellers as a natural audience.

Two concerts have been scheduled for this year. One will gravitate towards the sound of the Renaissance and especially 1622. Ensemble del Passato on lute and theorbo (a Renaissance guitar) will present songs and instrumentals from exactly four centuries ago. The other will pay tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Handel.
