Step into a medieval tavern or a royal court with us! The members of the Historical Sword-Fighting Group URSUS have created a musical project called Musica Ursusica. We bring the music of the past to modern audiences in an engaging way, with pieces and songs mainly from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. However, our repertoire also includes famous movie soundtracks and rhythmic world music, such as Slovak, Czech, Breton, and Irish folk songs. We perform on various instruments including violin, flutes, bouzouki, drums, and percussion.
A period music concert is suitable for city festivals, as well as exhibitions, parties, and other events. We can enrich the music program with a short medieval dance lesson and additional activities. We perform in historical costumes.
Some of our references include:
- Bratislava City Museum (SVK)
- Devín Castle (SVK)
- Trenčín Castle (SVK)
- Orava Castle (SVK)
- Beckov Castle (SVK)
- Červený Kameň Castle (SVK)
- Šimák Castle Pezinok (SVK)
- Kurovice Fortress (CZE)
In 2023, we released our debut studio album titled Musica Ursusica.
