Enjoy an evening of beautiful polyphony from the maestri of the 16th– and 17th-century Polish Royal Court.

St James’s Piccadilly’s annual Joy & Devotion Festival brings the beauty of Polish sacred music to London audiences. Our evening concert centres on music performed in the Polish Royal Court in the 16th and 17th centuries. As well as Polish composers such as Gorczycki (1665-1734) and Bartłomiej Pękiel (1601-1670), this concert features music by various Italian composers including Palestrina (1525-1594).
