Rather Posh & British Espresso

The Espresso chamber series returns!

We invite you to a new edition of the musical meetings with Sinfonietta Cracovia — short and intense, like a sip of good coffee. This year's opening, in a “rather posh” and British style, will be truly special. One of Poland’s most charismatic voices, Michał Sławecki, will introduce you to the world of English Baroque music. The world-famous countertenor and the chamber musicians of Sinfonietta Cracovia will present works by Henry Purcell full of theatrical scope, hidden rhetoric and extreme emotions.
