Folia is one of the most amazing phenomena in the history of music. This simple melody has a truly magical appeal. It is not for nothing that «folia» is literally translated into Russian as «madness, insanity». This melody originated in the late 15th century in Portugal and has been driving composers, musicians, and ordinary listeners crazy for half a millennium.

The agency «Dala Classica» invites you to open the door to the world of mysterious Baroque music - pretentious, ornamental and amazingly beautiful.
