Nova Casa: Baroque chamber music from poland.


The Nova Casa period instruments ensemble was founded in 2005 by a group of experienced musicians who had been playing with larger early music ensembles in Poland. It was formed by these talented musicians out of passionate dedication to the style and professional performance of specific types of music of the baroque and classical eras.

The Nova Casa play a broad and varied repertoire of music from these eras, executed on period instruments with full respect for the historical performance style. All the musicians possess a rich concert experience, both at home an abroad, which enables free interpretation of the music they play. The members of Nova Casa try to introduce their audience to the abundance of the Baroque music with its variety and scope. The ensemble also occasionally delves into other musical idioms from such countries as France, Italy, and Germany which provides a large context for their baroque and classical selections.

The Nova Casa ensemble also offers in its programme works by Adam Jarzebski (1590-1648), Marcin Mielczewski (1600-1651) and Stanislaw Sylwester Szarzynski (ca.1700), showing Polish baroque music within the context of stylistic achievements of European music of these days.

Recent performances by Nova Casa include the Huygens Museum in The Hague (4 october 2006) and the ensemble also participated in Van Wassenaer Concours and Festival. Nova Casa has also performed during a Polish Radio broadcast from the ceremony mass at the Evangelical-Reformed Church in Warsaw as well as a concert of Italian baroque music in the Church for Artistic Milieux in Warsaw. At present, the ensemble performs at: XVII Early Music Festival in Warsaw, the "Cruciixus Est" Festival in Warsaw, and at the Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow.

Nova Casa ensemble members include Ewa Mrowca, Agnieszka Rychlik, Maria Papuzinska-Uss, Jakub Kosciukiewicz and Anton Birula.The name of the ensemble (Nova Casa) comes from the title of the pieces by Adam Jarzebski (1590-1648)—acomposer, poet and architect of the Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw.
