Marta Korbel, Monika Hartmann, and Natalia Olczak

Cohaere Ensemble was founded in 2019 in Katowice by three students studying in the Harpsichord and Historical Performance Practice Department: Marta Korbel, Natalia Olczak and Monika Hartmann. The members of the ensemble are young musicians who perform their work with commitment. They have a fresh approach to historically informed performance but do not ignore the rules written down centuries ago. The objective of the ensemble is to reconstruct the music from the Renaissance and Baroque era in an authentic manner. In order to emphasise historical authenticity, the artists play the period instruments or contemporary copies of period instruments. Cohaere Ensemble is the winner of the OPEN CALL Młoda Muzyka Dawna [Young Early Music] 2020 competition organized by the Young Early Music Festival and the Academy of Early Music, winner of first prize and special prize of prof. O. Steinberg and prof. A. Livont on International Competition-Festival „Music without limits” and winner of first prize in chamber music category IV Odin International Music Online Competition.
