• Richard Šeda – cornett
  He graduated in trumpet performance from the Conservatory in České Budějovice in the class of Professor Jiří Pelikán. Already during these studies, he was interested in the so-called historically informed interpretation of early music. He was initially self-taught in playing the cornett and gained his first concert experience in the ensemble Ritornello under the direction of M. Pospíšil. In 2005, he began his private studies of the cornett at several interpretation courses in Prague and in France with the French cornettist Judith Pacquier. Among his activities in many foreign early music ensembles, we can mention, for example, Concerto Copenhagen, Marini Consort Innsbruck, L’Arpa Festante München, Wiener Hofburgkapelle, and Clemencic Consort Wien. In the Czech Republic, he collaborates with ensembles such as the Czech Ensemble Baroque, Cappella Mariana, Collegium Marianum, Ensemble Inégal, and Collegium 1704, among others. He is a lecturer in cornett playing at the Summer School of Early Music in Valtice. He is the co-founder and music dramaturge of the regional Baroque festival Dačice Baroque. He is also involved in music research and the transcription of old prints. His research contribution in the field of music in the Kroměříž archive was also mentioned in Jiří Sehnal’s book “Pavel Josef Vejvanovský and the Kroměříž music collection”. An integral part of Richard Šeda’s musical life is his hometown of Dačice. He teaches trumpet and recorder at the local primary art school, and in addition to frequent performances with his students, he also achieves success in national competitions for primary art schools. He is actively involved in the music production in the parishes of Kostelní Vydří and Dačice.
