Silva Rerum (”Forest of Things”) in the old Polish tradition is a family book of interesting things to remember, created day by the day, according to the course of family history. Such books were created in the Polish noble families from the sixteenth until the end of the eighteenth century. Silva Rerum arte concerts represent a 'musical' version of the book. They are created based on three ideas, important for it`s members: SOUND. Restoration of ancient instruments in contemporary culture is like opening the door to the unknown world of new sonorities. A sensitive artist can thus come closer to the beauty and diversity of musical language of the past centuries. DIALOGUE. Each musical event is a special meeting. The meeting of the performer with the composer. The intimate encounter of the musicians performing together. Full of tension and warmth the meeting of the ensemble with the audience INFORMATION. In preparing concerts, the ensemble always tries to understand and present the music in a broad historical context, inspired by history, social culture, art, baroque, baroque musicians writings, which often stressed that only those who have developed a 'bon gout' - good taste - can create beautiful music. Silva Rerum arte seeks to reach this ideal on both aesthetic and intellectual level. The ensemble concerted in Poland (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia, Toruń, Chełm, Kraków, Warszawa), Germany, Czech Republik, Slovenia, playing European court and sacral early music.
