Church of St. Michael, archangel, Dominikánské náměstí, Brno.
Performers: Ensemble Versus & Cappella Ornamentata
The chamber choir Ensemble Versus was formed in 2003 in cooperation with the Department of Musicology (Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Brno). Its repertoire consists exclusively of sacred music composed during the 16th (Josquin Des Pres, Pierre de la Rue, Jacobus Vaet, Robert Parsons) and 20th centuries (Francis Poulenc, Maurice Duruflé, Alain De Ley, Bohuslav Martinů, Benjamin Britten, Petr Eben, Ivan Hrušovský). Its musicological background enables the ensemble to perform its own transcriptions of 16th century music. A special place in its repertoire is occupied by compositions composed specifically for Ensemble Versus.
