All interest in Sijena and creation of Cantrix project started about 2010 during the Order of Malta admission process. Only then I started to discover the Spirituality of the Hospitaller Nuns.

As a medieval music graduate I could not oversee the prominent liturgical functions of CANTRIX, PRECENTRIX, PARAPHONISTA written in the Rule of Sijena. Together with the Processionale of Sijena, gregorian chant XV c. source, it existence, prooves that music, the sound of bells, venerable singing of psalms was the way in which sorors and consorors is imprinted into the majestic walls of Sijena. The famous celing paintings of Sijena

Being grateful to all who made this journey possible, Order of Malta Switzerland and Poland, ensemble Peregrina, Ania Dulska, I put together this website together to tell the Sijena story seen by my heart.

 

Last not least: learning that the Foundres of Sijena Monastery, Queen Sancha had Polish Mother, Rica de Polonia, makes the internal ties even stronger.
