Wolgemut. Sounds like “Volga” (as in the river) and “moot” (as in point),
Wolgemut is an ancient Germanic word which simply means “to be in a good mood” and is both the name as well as the goal of this high-energy early music troupe. The band, under the leadership of artistic director Michael Gartner, delivers a joyful, raucous show that will make you WOLGEMUT!

Falconry is the sport of hunting with falcons and the art of training falcons to hunt with humans. It began long ago in Asia. In the Middle Ages, Crusaders learned falconry and brought it back to Europe, where kings and lords often maintained falconers who hunted for game with hawks and eagles as well as falcons.
