ENSEMBLE SPORCK

About

Ensemble Sporck is a Czech chamber early-music group founded in 2010 by flautist, conductor and musicologist Lukáš M. Vytlačil. The ensemble specialises in historically informed performance of repertoire spanning Renaissance polyphony to late Baroque, with a flexible line-up shaped by each programme. It performs regularly at major Czech festivals - Theatrum Kuks, Hudební festival Znojmo and the Haydn Music Festival among them - and has also appeared in Germany, France, Belgium and Portugal. The name honours Count František Antonín Špork, the most prominent patron of Baroque music in Bohemia.
