Folger Consort performed A Polish Renaissance: Music of Poland's Golden Age from April 11 to April 13, 2014. The program tapped into an eastern tributary to the main stream of Renaissance music — the rarely heard, extraordinary musical art of what was then Europe’s largest kingdom. The Consort performed A Polish Renaissance with bagpipe, viols, cornetto, lute, organ, and trombone accompanying vocal ensemble The Western Wind.
