We were seeking the perfect space for our music. Or actually maybe for our impressions, our ideas of it, our yearns . Over the years of listening to it and playing it we wanted to find the right place for it, where it would flourish and sound just right. ... And we found it. A stone synagogue built three hundred years ago in the town of Wlodawa.

For centuries a shtetl in the very middle of the blooming Yiddishland, a hometown of Jews, Poles and Ruthenians. The place where Tartars, Byzanine traders and western artisans stopped and lingered... Today Włodawa is a small town at the edge of the EU, where the borders of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine meet and nobody remembers the sounds of the streets, houses and temples. But it is enough to put your ear to the stones of the synagogue and ask them to reveal their memories. This is how they sound. We hope that also you, listening to our work, feel the enchanting atmosphere of this unforgettable place. Just close your eyes and listen to the music. SieGra...
