About us
We are an ensemble drawing from 17th–19th century manuscripts, mainly English, Irish, and Scottish, from which we uncover the most beautiful pieces and arrange them through our own artistic experience, balancing on the boundary between styles.
At our concerts you can hear: traverso flute, folk flute, Irish flute, hook harp, bodhrán, frame drums, handpan, and many other percussion instruments, with each set individually selected to suit the place and occasion.
Each member of the ensemble is a professional in their field:
Patrycja Betley – percussion and world music, Karolina Zych – early music and historical instruments,
Michał Zator – classical and contemporary music.
Liminalis is a space where we allow ourselves to intertwine musical worlds, styles, and eras, introducing new improvisations, spacious resonances, and dynamic rhythms rooted in ancient melodies.
