Classical music of all times from a historical-scientific approach.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the viola da gamba, or viol: at our spring festival VIOLA DA GAMBAinPRIMETIME you will quite simply discover this finely strung wonder all over again: from a soloist to a team player, a whisper in the heart to a party tune, traditional to contemporary! Don’t miss a moment of this expedition (January 31 – February 8), which will explore every facet of the aristocratic elder cousin of the cello.

The ancient music festival Laus Polyphoniae focuses on Polyphonic Europe around 1600 from August 21 until 29 August 2026. Further details to follow.
