Wranitzky Kapelle
The unique chamber orchestra Wranitzky Kapelle started its activities with a concert in the Karlskirche in Vienna in April 2019. Its founding members are conductor Marek Štilec, concertmaster Jiří Sycha and harpsichordist Filip Dvořák, and it is made up of top musicians with an interest in the historically informed interpretation of Viennese classical music. The orchestra is particularly devoted to Czech composers who were active in Vienna in the second half of the 18th century and thus also seeks to strengthen Czech-Austrian cultural ties. The ensemble is based in Nová Říše in region Vysočina, the birthplace of the Vranický brothers, inspirational for the ensemble name. In the very short time of its existence, it has received repeated invitations to the prestigious Austrian festival Allegro Vivo, Helsinki Baroque Music Festival, Mahler Jihlava Festival, Leoš Janáček International Music Festival, Klasika Viva Festival and others. Orchestra further collaborates with the Czech boys choir Boni Pueri, performs with leading soloists from Vienna (Simona Eisinger, Alexandra Kahrer and others) and has also performed with world trumpet virtuoso Gabor Boldoczky. Furthermore, the ensemble organises the Canonia Neorisensis subscription series at the monastery in Nová Říše and recorded a CD of the works of Pavel Vranický for the ArcoDiva label together with oboist Vilém Veverka.
