Musica Florea and the art of improvisation in the early Baroque period.

From trips around Italy

The most famous baroque evergreen performed exclusively by the violinist Josef Žák with a performance by Jan Přeučil of original sonnets that inspired Vivaldi.

From trips around Poland

The Arte dei Suonatori ensemble will perform in the Czech Republic for the first time. The ensemble is one of the most important Polish ensembles focusing on historically informed interpretation of music.

From travels across the old continent

Jiří Havrlant will perform a harpsichord selection of compositions by various authors, which will acquaint the listeners with a mosaic of styles from all over Europe.

From travels in Israel

The story of King David about courage, humility, wisdom and faith. As a shepherd, he learned the courage he later showed in the fight against Goliath. He became king of Israel and forerunner of Christ.

From trips around Hamburg

The program will include G. P. Telemann's oratorio Der Tag des Gerichts. The oratorio is divided into 4 meditations - acts. In this work we perhaps most find a synthesis of national styles - Italian, French and German.

He will prepare a program for OBF that pays tribute to the authors whose anniversaries we will celebrate next year: W. A. Mozart and J. Mysliveček, whose 6th string quartet will be performed at a concert in a modern premiere. An interesting feature of the evening will also be the period quartet arrangement of Mozart's piano concerto.

From trips to the Olomouc diocese

The modern premiere of an extensive mass, the author of which is the Olomouc bandleader Philipp Jacob Rittler (1639 - 1690). The composition has been preserved in the Kroměříž chateau archives and belongs to five large masses, which have not been performed since Rittler's time.
