\nCollegium 1704<\/strong>
\nCollegium Vocale 1704<\/strong>
\nV\u00e1clav Luks<\/strong>, Conductor
\n <\/p>\n

Collegium 1704 & Collegium Vocale 1704<\/h2>\n

 
\nThe harpsichordist and conductor V\u00e1clav Luks founded the Prague baroque orchestra Collegium 1704 and vocal ensemble Collegium Vocale 1704 on the occasion of the project Bach \u2014 Prague \u2014 2005. In 2008, Music Bridge Prague \u2014 Dresden began, bringing together the two cities\u2019 wealth of cultural traditions. Collaborations with such world-famous soloists as Magdalena Ko\u017een\u00e1 and Vivica Genaux in 2012 led seamlessly to a second Collegium 1704 concert series at the Rudolfinum in Prague. Since autumn 2015, the two cycles have been merged into a single concert season that continues to take place in parallel in Prague and Dresden.
\n 
\nIn the field of opera, Collegium 1704 followed up on the international successes of its production of Handel\u2019s Rinaldo<\/em> with performances of Myslive\u010dek\u2019s L\u2019olimpiade<\/em>, nominated for the 2014 International Opera Award, and of Vivaldi\u2019s Arsilda<\/em> in modern-era world premiere. Recently, it has received invitations from such prestigious presenters and concert halls as Salzburger Festspiele, Berliner Philharmonie, London\u2019s Wigmore Hall, Theater an der Wien, Lucerne Festival, BOZAR in Brussels, Chopin Festival in Warsaw, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Zaryade in Moscow, and it is an ensemble-in-residence at the Op\u00e9ra Royal in Versailles and at festivals Oude Muziek in Utrecht and the Leipzig Bachfest. In May 2021, Collegium 1704 opened the international music festival Prague Spring with a performance of Smetana\u2019s My Country.
\n 
\nIn 2014, Collegium 1704 collaborated with Bejun Mehta on a DVD of Gluck\u2019s opera Orfeo ed Euridice<\/em> with the stage director Ond\u0159ej Havelka and with Rolando Villaz\u00f3n on the making of the BBC 2 documentary Mozart in Prague. The ensemble participated in the shooting of the feature film Il Boemo<\/em> (director Petr V\u00e1clav) about the life of Josef Myslive\u010dek, which will be premiered in December 2021.
\n 
\nTheir recordings are popular with both listeners and music critics (Diapason d\u2019Or, CD of the Month & Editor\u2019s Choice, and nominations for CD of the Year by Gramophone). Among their successful CD recordings have been Myslive\u010dek\u2019s violin concertos, Bach\u2019s B Minor Mass<\/em>, Zelenka\u2019s Sonatas and Missa Divi Xaverii<\/em>. Their most important recent achievements include the first complete Czech recording of Handel\u2019s Messiah<\/em> and a 3-CD with Rameau\u2019s opera Les Bor\u00e9ades<\/em>, which won the Troph\u00e9es 2020 award for the best opera release of the year.
\n 
\n\u2026 and why 1704?<\/strong>
\n1704 is a year of special significance for Jan Dismas Zelenka, our \u201ccomposer laureate\u201d. In August 1704, the church of St. Nicholas in Prague witnessed the magnificent performance of the Jesuit play Via Laureata <\/em>with Zelenka\u2019s music. As we know next to nothing about Zelenka\u2019s previous life, this event heralds the arrival of the greatest genius of Czech Baroque music, who was also one of the most original composers in history.<\/p>\n

V\u00e1clav Luks<\/h2>\n

 
\nV\u00e1clav Luks studied at the Pilsen Conservatoire, the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, and crowned his training with the specialised study of early music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland in the studios of J\u00f6rg-Andreas B\u00f6tticher and Jesper Christensen in the fields of historical keyboard instruments and historical performance practice. During his studies in Basel and in the years that followed, he gave concerts all over Europe and overseas as the principal horn player of the Akademie f\u00fcr Alte Musik in Berlin.
\n 
\nAfter returning from abroad in 2005, he transformed the chamber ensemble Collegium 1704, which he had already established during his studies, into a baroque orchestra, and he founded the vocal ensemble Collegium Vocale 1704.
\n 
\nUnder his leadership, the ensembles perform at prestigious festivals and at renowned concert halls. Their recordings have earned both public success and critical acclaim, including awards such as Troph\u00e9es, Diapason d\u2019Or, and Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
\n 
\nIn addition to his intensive work with Collegium 1704, V\u00e1clav Luks also collaborates with other distinguished ensembles including the Netherlands Bach Society, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Camerata Salzburg, the Akademie f\u00fcr Alte Musik in Berlin, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, and the Dresdner Kammerchor. At a benefit concert for the restoration of the Cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame de Paris, V\u00e1clav Luks conducted the Orchestre nationale de France. The French radio station France Musique devoted five episodes of the programme Grands interpretes de la musique classique to V\u00e1clav Luks in 2021. In May 2021, he conducted Collegium 1704 in the opening concert of the international festival Prague Spring.
\n 
\nHe has worked with internationally renowned soloists including Karina Gauvin, Vivica Genaux, Ann Hallenberg, Martina Jankov\u00e1, Philippe Jaroussky, Magdalena Ko\u017een\u00e1, Bejun Mehta, Sarah Mingardo, Adam Plachetka, and Andreas Sch\u00f6ll.
\n 
\nV\u00e1clav Luks has collaborated on operatic and theatrical performances with such stage directors as Willi Decker, Ond\u0159ej Havelka, Ursel Herrmann, Ji\u0159\u00ed He\u0159man, Louise Moaty, J. A. Pit\u00ednsk\u00fd, and David Radok. Under his direction, Collegium 1704 recorded the music for Petr V\u00e1clav\u2019s documentary Zpov\u011b\u010f zapomenut\u00e9ho (Confession of the Vanished) and for his upcoming feature film Il Boemo<\/em> about the life of Josef Myslive\u010dek, where V\u00e1clav Luks also serves as chief music advisor.
\n 
\nHis activities have played an important part in the revival of interest in the works of Czech composers such as Jan Dismas Zelenka and Josef Myslive\u010dek, and in strengthening Czech-German cultural links through rediscovery of the two countries\u2019 shared musical heritage.<\/p>\n
