The Collegium 1704 concert series is now entering its third season enhanced by a number of new features and with a new name:
Collegium 1704 in the Rudolfinum. Upcoming year will be even more exceptional as it will be 10 years since founding Collegium 1704.

www.ceskafilharmonie.cz, in person at the Czech Philharmonic Box Office in the Rudolfinum (Palachovo Sq., Prague 1, Mon–Fri, 10am – 6 pm) or via

Collegium 1704 in Rudolfinum will present six concerts from October to April. Again we have invited some extraordinary singing celebrities for three programmes of differing styles. In addition to
Bejun Mehta, the most acclaimed countertenor of our times,
Sara Mingardo will after a two-year absence bring her velvety voice back to the Rudolfinum, and for the first time ever we shall present as part of our cycle the charm of French Baroque music in cooperation with the first lady of the French Baroque,
Sandrine Piau. The other half of the total of six concerts will be devoted to a series of three festive masses. The Czech premiere of Zelenka’s
Missa Divi Xaverii which will be present in counterpoint to Bach’s
Magnificat, will be an extraordinary historic moment. This tripartite constellation of festive masses will continue in February by Mozart’s
Great Mass in C minor, a work of immense emotional depth and power.
The highlight of the season will certainly be performance of monumental
Bach's Mass in B minor, which will then also be heard in the summer of 2015 as interpreted by Collegium 1704 as part of the Salzburger Festspiele. The performance of this unique work will at the same time serve as a celebration of the
ten years of existence of the orchestral and vocal ensembles Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704.
