Lusatia consort

Česká republika

The youth vocal-instrumental ensemble Lusatia Consort was founded at the Cvikov Music School (ZUŠ Cvikov) in 1996, initially as a flute ensemble. However, in the new millennium, its members expanded to include singers and players of other musical instruments, often even historical ones (such as violin, guitar, bagpipes, drum, accordion, bassinet, and cornamuse). The members have visited 15 European countries on their travels. In 2013, the group won 1st prize at an international youth festival in Neerpelt, Belgium, and in 2015, they became laureates of the Czech Radio „Concerto Bohemia“ competition, followed by the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Radio Award in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in 2016. They founded their own international multi-genre festival, BARABANFEST. The ensemble performs a variety of musical styles, from medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque repertoire to ethnic (folk) and film music.
