Cappella Mariana

Czech Vocal Ensemble Specializing in Early Music

Cappella Mariana is an ensemble that specializes in the performance of vocal polyphony, particularly from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Founded by the singer and conductor Vojtěch Semerád in 2008, this Prague-based ensemble has gained recognition for its focus on historical performance practice and its exploration of lesser-known works from Central European composers. The group's repertoire spans from medieval to contemporary music, with a special emphasis on the cultural heritage of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. Cappella Mariana often collaborates with prominent soloists and instrumentalists to bring authentic interpretations to their performances. They have performed at various prestigious festivals and venues, contributing to the appreciation of early music through both live concerts and recordings.
