Experience Václav Luks live on April 21st

On April 21, 2027, Václav Luks will perform at Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews, United Kingdom. Luks is a Czech harpsichordist, organist, and conductor renowned for his historically informed performance practice of Baroque music. His work focuses on rediscovering and performing compositions from the 17th and 18th centuries, often employing period instruments and research into original performance techniques. He frequently collaborates with ensembles dedicated to this approach, prioritizing stylistic authenticity over modern interpretations.

Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews dates back to the 15th century, originally constructed as a parish church serving the local community. It underwent significant alterations in the 19th century under the direction of Sir Robert Lorimer, resulting in its current Gothic Revival appearance. The church features notable stained glass windows designed by Douglas Strachan and is built on the site of an earlier medieval church. Throughout its history, Holy Trinity has served various religious functions within the Scottish Episcopal Church and is currently an active place of worship known for its acoustics and architectural significance. The building's stone construction contributes to a resonant sound environment suitable for musical performances.
