The Karmína Ensemble concentrates on the interpretation of old Czech folk songs
and music of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods - both secular and sacred.
The wide range of different replicas of historical musical instruments that
are used by the ensemble give the performance authenticity and richly coloured
interesting sound. The atmosphere at concerts is emphasised by folk or period
costumes and it can be also accompanied by the historical dance group.
Miroslav Sekáč, the founder and artistic leader of the ensemble searches
old collections for music that he arranges in an unusual and non-traditional way.
Miroslav Sekáč works closely with Czech Radio and Czech Television.
Karmína also provides educational programme for youth in co-operation
with Prague FOK Orchestra as well as special programme for seniors citizens.
The Karmína musicians perform both on home stages as well as abroad.
They toured in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands,
Austria, Croatia, Poland and also in Canada, the USA and even in Namibia,
South Africa and Japan.
