🎸 ANTIKVARTET

About

Antikvartet is a Czech vocal ensemble founded by Dušan Vančura in 1962 as a student joke - the name is a dig at the then-emerging Spirituál kvartet. Most members soon moved to Spirituál kvintet, and the group lay dormant for fifty years before Vančura revived it in 2013. Their repertoire spans four-part choral literature, folk songs, spirituals and contemporary pieces, with a large share of the lyrics written by Vančura himself.
