About: Accademia Bizantina

Accademia Bizantina is an Italian period-instrument ensemble based in Ravenna, focused on baroque and early classical repertoire. Under the direction of harpsichordist and conductor Ottavio Dantone, the group has built a strong presence at major early-music festivals across Europe. Their work spans both orchestral programmes and staged opera productions.

About the venue: Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene

The Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene is a Gothic brick church in the Old Town of Wrocław, dating back to the 14th century. Once the main parish church of the city's German-speaking community, it now serves as the pro-cathedral of the Latin Rite archdiocese. A distinctive feature is the Romanesque portal embedded in its south wall, salvaged from a demolished Benedictine monastery. The church regularly hosts organ concerts alongside religious services.
