Wranitzky Kapelle

The unique chamber orchestra Wranitzka Kapelle began its activities with a concert in Vienna's Karlskirche in April 2019. The founding members are conductor Marek Štilec, concert master Jiří Sycha and harpsichordist Filip Dvořák, and it is also made up of top musicians interested in contemporary interpretation, especially Viennese classicism. The orchestra pays particular attention to Czech authors who worked in Vienna in the second half of the 18th century, and also tries to strengthen Czech-Austrian cultural ties. The headquarters of the ensemble is Nová Říše in Vysočín, the place where the Vraničtí brothers were born, after whom the orchestra is named. In the very short period of its existence, it has received repeated invitations to the prestigious Austrian Allegro Vivo festival, the Baroque music festival in Helsinki, the Mahler Jihlava festival, the Leoš Janáček International Festival, the Klasika Viva festival and others. He cooperates with the Czech Boys' Choir Boni Pueri, performs with leading soloists from Vienna (Simona Eisinger, Alexandra Kahrer and others) and has also performed with world trumpet virtuoso Gábor Boldoczki. He regularly organizes the subscription series Canonia Neorisensis in the monastery in Nová Říš and together with the oboist Vilém Veverka, he recorded a CD with the work of Pavel Vranický for the ArcoDiva label.
