Baroque is an era mainly associated with splendor and ornamentation. The beginning of this era in music is considered to be the end of the 16th century, and the end of this period is marked by the death of Johann Sebastian Bach (1750). Interestingly, this era in music is completely different from other art forms...
The Polish Chamber Choir Schola Cantorum Gedanensis* belongs to the narrow circle of the world elite of fully professional chamber choirs. The ensemble founded in 1978 by Ireneusz Łukaszewski, has been under the direction and artistic leadership of Jan Łukaszewski since 1983.
One of the greatest composers of classical music in the Baroque era. In addition to writing magnificent works, he was also an active musician.

Baroque music is an incredibly valuable artistic heritage worth getting to know. In this mini-lecture, we can see excerpts from amazingly sounding baroque compositions performed by the exceptional soloist of the Polish Royal Opera - Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz. The artist presents works that are unfortunately unjustly forgotten but have immense potential and beauty. Baroque music is not just luxurious Sarmatian gatherings and opulent baroque churches. It is primarily rich and diverse compositions that were played at courts, in churches, and at concerts. A baroque artist, or 'baroqueist', was eager to experiment with different instruments and compositional techniques, which contributed to the creation of many unique musical works. The video presented in the link is an excellent opportunity to familiarize oneself with these unique sounds. Baroque composers, such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi, left behind a rich musical legacy that is still popular worldwide today. Baroque music is full of emotions, virtuosity, and precision of execution, as seen in Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz's performance. The mini-lecture on baroque music is a perfect opportunity to expand one's knowledge about this historical era. We can see how baroque music differs from other musical styles, what instruments were used at that time, and what emotions the artist wanted to convey through music. It is worth following the entire series of lectures to delve into the intricacies of this fascinating form of art.
Wow! The ten mini lectures on Baroque music blew me away! I didn't think Polish Baroque could be so interesting and diverse. Iwona Leśniowska-Lubowicz has an amazing voice that perfectly captures the spirit of these forgotten compositions. The accompaniment adds even more charm to them. Thanks to such lectures, I can discover new music and broaden my musical horizons. I am looking forward to more such inspiring presentations!
