OCTOBER COFFEE HOUSE
Stary Olsa is a medieval band founded in 1999, named for a brook in the west part of Mahilioŭ Region (Belarus). The band's repertoire includes Belarusian folk balladry and martial songs, Belarusian national dances, canticles of the 16th - early 17th centuries, as well as European popular melodies of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The band's music makes it possible to restore sounds of many forgotten instruments. For performance, Stary Olsa uses contemporary copies of medieval instruments such as Belarusian bagpipe, lyre, gusli (Baltic psaltery) , svirel (reed pipe), Jew's harp, ocarina, Belarusian trumpet, birch bark trumpet, hudok (Belarusian rebec), tromba marina and drums.
The band collaborates with museums and period musical groups across Europe. In the U.S., they frequently perform at Renaissance Fairs and other period musical events. They have 11 albums and have published seven collections of period music.
