• Ensemble Frizzante (CZ) – vocal quintet

  The vocal quintet Ensemble Frizzante was founded in 2015 as an ensemble of professional singers from leading Brno choirs, who wanted to find a counterpoint to performing large choral works and operas.

  Their goal was to discover rarely performed or forgotten compositions, to unusually connect the human voice with musical instruments, and to enjoy themselves and the audience with the beauty of the harmony of vocal lines, which is one of the most beautiful experiences across musical genres.

  The ensemble’s repertoire is quite broad. Renaissance madrigals, interesting projects with Baroque music, yet the core of its repertoire lies in 20th-century vocal music. Several compositions by contemporary authors were written directly for it. Ensemble Frizzante often performs concerts both at home and abroad, and is invited to festivals (Moravian Autumn, Choral Festival Hradec Králové, Malostranské chamber festivals). In Brno, it organises its own series of vocal music concerts.
