The Enchanting Journey of Radziwi\u0142\u0142 the Orphan
\n<\/strong>A concert for the whole family<\/p>\n

This musical tale invites audiences to join Miko\u0142aj Krzysztof Radziwi\u0142\u0142<\/strong>, known as Radziwi\u0142\u0142 the Orphan, on his famous journey to the Holy Land<\/strong> in 1582\u20131584. Born into a prominent noble family of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Radziwi\u0142\u0142 the Orphan was a young, educated and curious traveller. His account of the pilgrimage, published later, became widely popular throughout Europe and was translated into several languages.<\/p>\n

The travellers\u2019 experiences come to life in a vibrant musical mosaic that brings together dances from Renaissance Venice, songs from Cyprus and Crete, medieval melodies and improvisations, and music from the Middle East. Created by Ieva Baublyt\u0117 together with the performers of the renowned Greek ensemble Ex Silentio<\/em>, the programme opens a dialogue between historical cultures and invites audiences to experience the spirit of a Renaissance journey.<\/p>\n
