Capella Cracoviensis | November 25, 2023 | House Program

CC has staged the following operas: Amadigi di
Gaula by Handel, The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart
and Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck, and prepared
such special projects as Monteverdi’s madrigals
performed in a milk bar, Mendelssohn’s songs for
choir staged in the woods and A Midsummer Night’s
Dream with the participation of children with visual
impairments as actors or Mozart’s Requiem as
karaoke directed by Cezary Tomaszewski.
CC was established in 1970 on the initiative of
Jerzy Katlewicz, Director of Krakow Philharmonic
at that time, who appointed Stanisław Gałoński to
create an ensemble specialising in period music
performance. Over the years, Capella Cracoviensis
became an independent entity performing various
repertoire ranging from Medieval music to world
premieres of contemporary pieces. Since November
2008, Jan Tomasz Adamus has been CC’s General
and Artistic Director.
Capella Cracoviensis owes special
thanks to the Embassy of the
Republic of Poland in Ottawa for
its support of the concert tour in
Canada in November 2023.
