Music of the Amber Routes

The musical path of this program follows the Amber Routes, one of the ancient trading routes in Europe, which were connecting populations of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and inhabitants of the Mediterranean region. The route, principally based on the precious amber trade, has been at the same time the theatre of cooperation, migration, exchange of goods and knowledge. Cultural trends, artistic novelties, and music styles traveled along on the same roads, creating bridges crossing national borders, which continuously muted through history. The resilience of this cultural phenomenon inspires this program, for the most part, giving the chance to explore the music of composers and musicians traveling in both directions of the Amber Routes during the turbulent first half of the XVII century.

Musicians:
Aldona Bartnik - Soprano
Emma Huijsser - Baroque harp and recorder
Edoardo Valorz - Harpsichord and organ
