Orfej

Чешская Республика

The Orfej Choir was founded in 2001 by a group of singers who had met at Prague's Hlahol and shared an interest in choral singing and related social activities. Throughout its existence, the choir has performed sacred and secular pieces from virtually all musical periods, ranging from the Renaissance to the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Selected works have been recorded on two CDs released in 2011 and 2016. Since December 2021, the choir has been led by choir mistress Marie Matějková. Most of Orfej choir's repertoire is performed a cappella or with piano accompaniment, but the choir also welcomes collaborations with other instrumentalists and occasionally performs with larger ensembles. Orfej choir particularly enjoys singing in unique venues such as historical halls, castles, and outdoor settings. It brings the choir great joy when its performances resonate with listeners.
