Żebrowski's Magnificat, Rorate coeli, Missa pastoritia: Wratislavia‐Cantans Festival

About the Event

As each year, Maestro Andrzej Kosendiak will share with the audience his passion for discovering Polish works of early music. This time, he will present to us the works of the leading Polish composer of the 18th century – Marcin Józef Żebrowski. The composer was associated with monastery at Jasna Góra, the most famous Marian shrine in Poland often called the spiritual capital of Poland, and at the same time a thriving music centre. We will hear his Christmas Mass, the Magnificat hymn and the antiphon from the so‐called rorate – all of them being compositions on the highest European level.

Żebrowski was a singer (bass), virtuoso violinist, conductor, teacher and composer, and his career gained momentum when he joined the consort at the Częstochowa monastery. He was probably the first Polish composer to have his symphonies printed abroad and the only native author of concerto grosso.
