BRNO CHAMBER SOLOISTS

Brno Chamber SoloistsHOME PAGE

1006    (since 10 of November, 2009)

Miloš Vacek, the first violin of the Janáček Quartet, established the Brno Chamber Soloists in the 1990s. An ensemble of experienced musicians from the city Brno got together and performed a number of concerts in the Czech Republic and neighboring countries. In the year 2006, the composition of the orchestra was altered and the violinist, Štěpán Graffe, assumed responsibility for the artistic direction.

The ensemble with its new composition of musicians, debuted this summer with the performance of Handel's Messiah at the international festival "The Landscape of Music" in the city of Telč. In January 2004, the orchestra released a CD with works by Mysliveček, Janáček, Suk and Štědroň through the publisher Gnosis in support of the occasion 'Years of Czech music'.

The combination of young promising players and experienced members in the first chairs create a very likeable mixture, which joins musical maturity with youthful enthusiasm.
The ensemble is capable of expanding by 2 French horns and 2 oboes, so that it can also include a repertoire for music of period of classicism.
