Concert by the Musica Historica Orchestra - Selection of medieval secular music

The Musica Historica band was born 34 years ago at the foot of Buda Castle, in Krisztinaváros. From the very beginning, they have been committed to promoting medieval secular music. The Buda Castle is a prime location to give medieval music concerts, as within these walls, a wide variety of music has been performed since the end of the 13th century. To this day The Gothic Knights' Hall of the Castle Museum offers excellent acoustics and a wonderful historical location. Hence, it will be an excellent location for the concert of Musica Historica as well.

Thanks to the concert, the melodies of the foreign poet-musicians who visited the courts of the House of Anjou and Sigismund of Luxembourg will be heard again through the combination of old instruments such as medieval flutes and flutes, schalmey and bagpipes, cobza, oud, mandoras, fiddles, harps, and percussion instruments.
