The 17th through 18th centuries were filled with dramatic political and artistic turmoil in Poland. From the Dresden-influenced Chapel Royal in
Warsaw to the rise of Poland’s own native masters, instrumental music began its ascension.
Join us at the TASTE OF POLONIA as we take a journey through what was 18th-Century Poland, exploring virtuoso Polish music for viola da gamba & harpsichord by Jan, Christian & Wilhelm Christian Podbielski, court gambist Johann Gottfried Mente & Frédéric Chopin’s teacher Józef Antoni Franciszek Elsner.
