Ars Nova

Ars Nova is a Polish early music ensemble specializing in resurrecting the rich, often overlooked sounds of medieval and Renaissance Europe, with a particular focus on Poland’s musical heritage. Known for their meticulous research and authentic performances, they breathe life into centuries-old compositions using reconstructed period instruments like lutes, harps, and early wind instruments. Their discography—spanning releases like *Muzyka Polskiego Średniowiecza* (Music of the Polish Middle Ages) and *Muzyka Jagiellonów*—showcases their dedication to unearthing Poland’s royal and folk traditions, from Piast dynasty melodies to Renaissance court dances. They’ve also explored cross-cultural connections, like Dutch composer Cornelis Schuyt’s works, while staying rooted in regional gems like Kurpie folk songs. Whether reviving forgotten manuscripts or reimagining liturgical chants, Ars Nova bridges ancient and modern audiences with scholarly rigor and earthy, vibrant energy.
