Radziejowice Palace
The beautiful palace complex in Radziejowice.
Radziejowice - a small town located on the slightly undulating terrain of the Mszczonów area, it has always charmed its visitors with its picturesque landscape and undisturbed peace. The renaissance mansion, numerously expanded and restructured through the years, achieved its current form of a standard baroque palace along with an extensive garden in the middle of the 17th century. Today, a multi-site cultural center is the most recognised beacon of art in the region. Basing our masterclasses in the Radziejowice Palace not only provides participants with countless, inspiring spaces for daily practising, but also allows access to many concert halls and venues within the palace complex.
Tuning
a’=415, 430 or 440Hz
All the participants will have an opportunity to play together with harpsichord or the pianoforte. Harpsichord is in 415Hz with transposition to 440Hz. We will have 2 pianofortes: a classical Stein model is in 430Hz and an early XIX century Rosenberger model in 440Hz. We would recommend for string players not to change the pitch during a course since it is always problematic for your instruments. If you are planning on working on both baroque and later repertoire and you have got 1 instrument the good solution might be for you to keep 440Hz pitch all the way which works both with harpsichord and pianoforte.
The flute players are welcome to bring more instruments in different pitches.
In the application form please tick the box or boxes to let us know which pitch you are going to choose. We will plan ensembles and orchestra workshop accordingly.
