¹ Hussowitzer Gesang- und Verschönerungsverein — vocal ensemble
² Castello in Aria — instrumental ensemble
³ as guest
The Hussowitzer Gesang- und Verschönerungsverein is a vocal ensemble that focuses mainly on the music of the 16th and 17th centuries. Its name derives from a part of the city of Brno, the once independent town Husovice that in 1920 was incorporated into the so-called Greater Brno. The beginnings of the Verein, probably founded in 1863, is shrouded in the fog of the history of the 19th century. What is clear is that the Hussowitzer Gesang- und Verschönerungsverein found a new membership in its current form under the leadership of Patrik Matyášek in 2014. More about the group and its activities can be found here.
Castello in Aria is an association of musicians who are engaged in baroque music performed on copies of period instruments. The instrumentalists are playing on cornetto, baroque violin, sackbut, viola da gamba, harpsichord and other instruments. The name of our group is a tribute to the baroque composer Dario Castello (c. 1590 – c. 1658), whose music we like to play. The idiom Castello in Aria means in Italian a castle in the air, similar to what our music is. At the time, what sounds, is very real, and when finished, it melts away and only the memory remains.
Martin Jakubíček studied harpsichord and composition at the Conservatoire and at the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno. Besides solo concerts (harpsichord, organ, fortepiano), Martin Jakubíček acts as artistic director of renowned chamber ensembles; he is founding member of ensembles dealing with period interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque music. He performs with Czech and foreign chamber orchestras, and is a popular accompanist of choirs (Ars Brunensis, Brno Academic Choir, …) and soloists (Kožená, Stivín, Hudeček, …). He appears regularly on Czech radio and television, as well as in other European countries. He participated as performer in dozens of CD recordings, and acts as organist in Brno churches. Not less important are his composing and arranging activities; they cover the areas of traditional (Broln, Hradišťan, …), folk (Tabard, Cimbal classic, …) and classical music (Canticum novum, Fagotti Brunenses, …).
The concert takes place with financial support from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Statutory City of Brno.
