Performer: Collegium 1704

Václav Luks and his band of Baroque devotees offer a fresh take on late-period Mozart in Prague.

Collegium 1704 takes the Czech Baroque composer online, with impressive results.

In keeping with the festival's tradition of persevering through adversity, organizers turned a pandemic-imposed restriction to their advantage. 

The director of Collegium 1704 talks about Zelenka, the greatest Czech Baroque composer, and his uniquely bold and distinctive approach composition – which still has the capacity to shock and overwhelm today.

In ten concerts over five days in May, the Swiss city of Schaffhausen hosts a panoply of approaches to the music of the Leipzig cantor – representing a cross-section of contemporary Bach performance.

Our spring preview reveals the wealth of opera and concerts available to audiences in the Czech capital this season.
