Václav Luks conducts Collegium 1704 and Collegium Vocale 1704 in a program of sacred music capturing the depth of Holy Week. Performed on period instruments, this outstanding ensemble offers an intense and contemplative musical journey offering reflection and timeless beauty. Along with Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Miserere in C minor and selections from Responsoria pro hebdomada sancta, we’ll hear Antonio Caldara’s expressive Stabat Mater and a Miserere by Francesco Durante. Recorded live in concert March 23, 2026 in Dvořák Hall in Prague’s Rudolfinum.
Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to offer this program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. Find it on wfmt.com/listen.
