A concert cycle of Czech Ensemble Baroque entitled Bacha na Mozarta! [in Czech, this is a pun meaning both "Bach on Mozart!" and "Beware of Mozart!"] will open the season in Brno with the world première of Offertoria by Pavel Josef Vejvanovský. The first concert of the 8th season of this cycle will take place in the Church of St. Michael.
"Styllus fantasticus", or the most free and totally unlimited way of composing in the works of Pavel Josef Vejvanovský will be heard at the opening concert of the 8th season of the Bacha na Mozarta! cycle in Brno. Works that lied hidden up to these days in a music archive in Kroměříž were picked up especially for Czech Ensemble Baroque. "Every ensemble of early music should be plunged into archives from time to time and discover some completely forgotten musical treasure for today's world. After years of research abroad (Strasbourg, Paris and Venice), we also visited one of the largest archives in Moravia, the Music Archive of the Kroměříž Castle, with the aim of bringing to life some of the works of Pavel Josef Vejvanovský. We were intrigued by his Offertoria, which were professionally put to scores by PhDr. Tomáš Hanzlík, PhD., from Palacký University in Olomouc", conductor Roman Válek invites to the opening concert. Apart from the usual parts, scores and sketches have also been preserved in Kroměříž, often considered only scribbles and fragments by some researchers. Some of those "fragments" will be heard at this concert, as its programme consists mainly of vocal-instrumental compositions.
Most of them will be played in a modern world première. The opening concert is announced to take place on 18 September 2019 from 7:30 pm in the Church of St. Michael.
In the 8th concert season, works by J.S. Bach and W.A. Mozart will be performed. Additional concerts will include Bach's cantatas for soloists, choir and orchestra and Mozart's Requiem at Petrov Cathedral. A separate concert with an unconventional programme will also feature a vocal ensemble. "We want to show how romantic composers such as Schubert or Mendelssohn followed on the legacy and tradition of the masters Purcell, Handel or Schütz. It will be an interesting confrontation," the choirmaster Tereza Válková describes the dramaturgy of the concert. A Baroque fashion show will also take place during the first concert of 2020, where Telemann's suites are scheduled to be performed.
