Anonymous cantata dedicated to the Hartig family, G. Bononcini: Proteo sul Reno
The aristocratic Hartig family was very active in the 18th century in the Czech lands in terms of supporting domestic musical life. This is evidenced by a number of historical reports and also by a large amount of dedicated musical material. Most of it has not survived, but an exception is a cantata dedicated to the family by the musicologist Romana Hinerová.
The programme will also include the secular oratorio Proteo sul Reno by composer Giovanni Vononcini. Both works will be performed by the Musica Florea orchestra and its conductor Marek Štryncl together with five soloists of the Collegium Floreum choir in a world premiere in a period-informed interpretation.
The event is held with the kind support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the City of Prague and the Municipality of Prague 1.

An American choir that boasts a performance at the famous Carnegie Hall in New York!
The Augustana Choir has a rich history spanning nearly 100 years. The choir was founded in 1931 and has been performing its traditional acappella choral performances ever since. The alma mater of this choir is Augustana College in Davenport, Iowa, USA. The choir performs at state and regional conventions of the American Choral Directors Association and at conventions of the National Conference of Music Educators. In 1985, the choir performed a special concert at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. A significant highlight for the choir was 1996-97, when the choir participated in a gala in honor of Their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden.
The Augustana Choir has made numerous recordings and has appeared on commercial and public radio and television. In 2002, the choir was featured on the public television special A Christmas Homecoming, which aired on more than 180 stations across the United States. The choir also commissioned and premiered a number of new choral works, including works by noted composers Libby Larsen and Alice Parker. Members of the choir are college students from a variety of majors. The choir rehearses daily and gives up to twenty off-campus performances each year.

2. 5. 2022 | Dear members of the Concert Club,
This year the MUSICA ORBIS BOHEMIA 2022 concert series continued the tradition of chamber concerts by young Czech artists.
After the first edition, which offered streamed concerts from Dom U Minuty, this year's concert series was held in Prague 2.
The first of the concerts took place on 2 March 2022 at 7 pm in the refectory of the Emmaus Monastery, featuring the Ševčík Quartet. String quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, Bedřich Smetana and Bohuslav Martinů were performed.
The second concert, which took place in the Hall of the Archbishop's Gymnasium on 14 April at 7 pm, was marked by the original song works of composer Tomáš Hanzlík. It was presented by a student of singing at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna and the author of the lyrics, tenor Vincenc Ignác Novotný. He was accompanied on piano by Martin Smutný.
The final concert featured the talented and internationally successful clarinetist Anna Paulová, accompanied by pianist Daniel Wiesner, who performed on 30 April 2022 at 5 pm in the Chapel of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren in Korunná. Together they presented well-known and lesser-known opera melodies arranged just for these instruments.
Thank you for your abundant participation!
