Musica Florea

Musica Florea was founded in 1992 by cellist and conductor Marek Štryncl as one of the first significant ensembles in the field of historically informed performance in the Czech Republic. The ensemble's repertoire includes instrumental chamber music, secular and sacred vocal-instrumental compositions, orchestral concertos and monumental symphonic, oratorio and operatic works from the Baroque period to the 20th century.

Since its foundation, Musica Florea has performed at major festivals around the world and has collaborated with distinguished soloists and ensembles (e.g. M. Kožená, P. Jaroussky, N. Argenta, V. Gens, Peter Kooij, Le Poème Harmonique, etc.) and has received numerous prestigious awards (e.g. Diapason d'Or, Cannes Classical Award, etc.). The ensemble has also initiated the staging of operas and ballets, mainly of the Baroque period, often in modern premieres (e.g. the opera Costanza e Fortezza by J. J. Fux, the operas by G. F. Handel, F. Bononcini and F. Amadei's Muzio Scevola at the Händel-Festspiele, etc.).

In 2014, it contributed to the creation of the Florea Theatrum, a unique transportable Baroque theatre created according to contemporary principles. Large-scale oratorio compositions or masses are then performed by Musica Florea in collaboration with its own choir Collegium Floreum, which was also founded and is led by Marek Štryncl.
