Coloquio 6 Comes to Moravia!
For the third year running, Concentus Moraviae is a proud member of the consortium behind S-EEEmerging, an ambitious Europe-wide project dedicated to supporting outstanding young early music ensembles and helping them build sustainable careers. Among the ensembles selected through a highly competitive audition process is the Spanish-Dutch wind sextet Coloquio 6, who will be making their Czech debut next week at the invitation of our festival with not one but two performances, in festival towns Žďár nad Sázavou and Brno!
Coloquio 6 is bringing a real treat to Moravia. Their project The Magic Flute: Animating Mozart invites audiences into the imaginative world of one of Mozart’s best-loved operas through a delightful combination of live music and animated film. Performing a carefully chosen sequence of arias and instrumental passages, the musicians bring the story of The Magic Flute to life alongside Dax Niesten’s minimalist animations. His film gives Mozart’s characters a visual presence and weaves a poetic thread through the performance, allowing the story to unfold without a single spoken word.
Where can you see and hear Coloquio 6 perform The Magic Flute?
On Monday 9 November at 7 pm, Coloquio 6 will perform in the beautiful new Konvent Hall at the Vysočina Cultural and Creative Centre, housed in Žďár nad Sázavou Castle. The concert is part of the castle’s concert series, and you can find more information and tickets HERE.
On Tuesday 10 November at 7 pm, Coloquio 6 and their Magic Flute will be welcomed to the Hall of the Brothers of Mercy in Brno. The concert is part of the 23rd season of our dear partner concert series dedicated to early music, B. M. Willi Presents…. Details of the evening and the last remaining tickets are available HERE.
The sextet’s horn players have clearly been doing their homework ahead of their Czech visit – they’ve even recorded a video invitation in Czech!
