The Martinů Voices mainly focuses on chamber choral works encompassing the time span from the 19th – 21st centuries, the ensemble’s repertoire also includes compositions from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods. The ensemble appears regularly at major music festivals in the Czech Republic, including the Prague Spring, Dvořák Prague, or Strings of Autumn, occasionally performing abroad as well. In 2014 the Martinů Voices joined the Czech Philharmonic and its then principal conductor Jiří Bělohlávek in a production of Bohuslav Martinů’s opera „Čím lidé žijí“ (“What Men Live by”), which earned them a nomination for the prestigious International Opera Award (2015). Another major achievement for the Martinů Voices was their concert appearance alongside the prominent British ensemble The Tallis Scholars, at Dvořák Prague in 2016. In the following year the choir joined forces with the Bang on a Can All Stars ensemble in a Czech premiere of the cantata Anthracite Fields by American composer Julia Wolfe. With “Britten” album Martinů Voices add another recording to their string of profile albums dedicated to diverse masters of choral composition having previously released albums with music by Bohuslav Martinů (2018) and Jan Novák (2014). www.martinuvoices.cz
