Experience Collegium Musicum 90

Collegium Musicum 90, founded in 1990 by violinist and conductor Vaclav Luks, is a Czech ensemble specializing in historically informed performance of Baroque and Classical music. Emerging from the vibrant early music scene in Prague following the Velvet Revolution, the group quickly gained international recognition for its energetic and insightful interpretations.

Their repertoire centers around composers like Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, and Mozart, but also explores lesser-known works. Collegium Musicum 90 distinguishes itself through a flexible instrumentation – adapting to suit the specific demands of each piece – and a commitment to using period instruments or faithful reproductions.

The ensemble has released numerous critically acclaimed recordings on labels including Harmonia Mundi France & Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, often featuring prominent soloists. Notably, their complete Bach orchestral suites (recorded 2015-2018) were widely praised for their rhythmic vitality and clarity. They regularly perform at major European festivals and concert halls, consistently lauded for bringing fresh perspectives to established masterpieces while maintaining scholarly rigor. Their dedication to both performance *and* research solidifies their position as a leading force in historical performance practice.
