Capella Cracoviensis

The Capella Cracoviensis Choir is a vocal ensemble whose technical mastery as well as flexibility enable it to diversify its repertoire, which ranges from Gesualdo’s arduous mannerist madrigals to the avant-garde compositions of the 20th century. The choir of Capella Cracoviensis has accompanied such eminent guests of Misteria Paschalia and Opera Rara festivals as Fabio Biondi with his ensemble Europa Galante, Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble, Le Poème Harmonique and ensemble La Venexiana under Claudo Cavina.
History

CC was established in 1970 as the initiative of the then director of Cracow Philharmonic Jerzy Katlewicz, who entrusted Stanisław Gałoński the formation of ensemble specialized in historical performance practice. In the course of time Capella Cracoviensis became an independent entity and functioned as a kind of small philharmonic, performing on modern instruments a wide range of repertoire from renaissance to modern classical compositions. Semper in altum. Capella Cracoviensis has been guided by this motto for a few years now, which makes it the most dynamically developing Polish ensemble specialising in historical performance practice.
