Around the year 1600, the music scene in Europe is ready to explode. It is a forcefield of sparks: overlapping styles, shifting traditions and composers experimenting without letting go of the past. The Renaissance and Baroque constantly provoke each other in a world where both geographical and cultural borders are blurring. From Seville to Munich and Venice to Mount Athos, artists, scores and ideas travel farther and faster than ever before. Laus Polyphoniae 2026 explores this summer this continent of voices with music that challenges, astonishes and often sounds strikingly modern. Follow your ears on a path of your choice among festival favourites, recent revelations and upcoming talent. Your final destination? Euphoria!
