History
The Responsorium Ensemble specializes in performing vocal and instrumental forms from the renaissance and early baroque periods with special emphasis on early Croatian music heritage. They follow the current principles of historically informed interpretation of early music, using replicas of authentic instruments and honoring the scientifically proven style guidelines. In their constant search of authentic sounds and experiences, the Responsorium has realized a number of successful projects and contemporary premieres (e.g. Gabriello Puliti's Ghirlanda odorifera and Tomas Cecchini's Amorosi concetti collections), gaining respect from both the audiences and the critics. In collaboration with the Zagreb Archeological Museum, they started the Baroque Extravagance – Early Music in the Archeological Museum series of concerts in 2010 with a repertoire consisting of 17th-century music. The ensemble often performs in Croatian festivals (Varždin Baroque Evenings, Dubrovnik Early Music Festival; BaRoMus – Rovinj Baroque Festival, Dvigrad Festival, Music Evenings in St. Donat's; Concerts in Euphrasius Basilica) as well as abroad (in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Slovenia, The Czech Republic, Slovakia).
