St. Wenceslao Music Festival is the largest sacred and early music festival in the Czech Republic and has been held regularly since 2004. Owing to the high artistic standard of its participants, it is one of the most prestigious European festivals of its kind. Apart from concerts, the festival also includes dance, theatre and recitations. All the concert venues are places of worship.
With the support of AC/E, the Spanish artists Marta Infante (Mezzosoprano) and Manuel Vilas (harpist) are performing two concerts at this year’s festival, the 12th, which are unique for their combination of voice and baroque harp – a combination rarely found in the Czech Republic. The programme includes pieces by Juan Hidalgo, Francisco Valls, Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz, Sebastián Durón and Italians such as Giulio Caccini and Tarquinio Merula.
