Collegium Marianum concert cycle BAROQUE SOIRÉES
 
The Christmas concert will focus on music from Prague churches and palaces and will present works by Czech masters with pastoral themes inspired by Italian compositions. The concert will feature Christmas songs by Adam Michna of Otradovice and Václav Karel Holan Rovenský, as well as Christmas motets and pastorals by Jan Dismas Zelenka, Antonín Reichenauer, and Josef Antonín Sehling, maestro di capella of St. Vitus Cathedral, who was an important figure in Prague’s musical life. Thanks to his work in Count Morzin’s orchestra, he had the opportunity to become personally acquainted with the work of Antonio Vivaldi, whose instrumental compositions will also feature in this concert.
