The ensemble is composed of vocal soloists and instrumentalists who have excelled in the masterclasses of the previous year. They will play on instruments of the time around 1600: cornets, baroque trombones, violins in old scale, viole da gamba, dulcian, lute instruments and organ. Around 20 young musicians from several European countries will take you on a journey into a world of sound that shaped the musical life of the old Hanseatic cities roughly 400 years ago.
