Since 1992 Joachim Held appeared with Il Giardino Armonico (Milan) in numerous concerts and on recordings (amongst others on the Vivaldi Album with Cecialia Bartoli for Decca). Since 2005 Joachim Held’s solo-CDs are released world-wide by Hänssler Classic. That year appeared the Schele Manuskript Hamburg 1619 CD (co-produced with the Swiss Radio DRS2 Zurich) and the Erfreuliche Lautenlust with music by Austrian composers for the Baroque lute. This CD was awarded the “Echo Klassik 2006” for the best solo recording of music from the 17th/18th centuries. In 2006 the CD German Lute Music of the Baroque was released by Hänssler Classic in cooperation with Deutschlandfunk Köln. In 2007 followed Che Soavita, Italian lute music of the Baroque, and in June 2008 Musique pour le roi, French lute musique of the Baroque. In 2010 he devoted the CD Merry Melancholy to the music of the time of John Dowland. His most recent CD with lute music by Johann Sebastian Bach was released in 2013, also by Hänssler Classic.

As a soloist Joachim Held appeared amongst others at the Musikfestspielen Potsdam Sanssouci, at the International Bach Festival Schaffhausen, the Schwetzinger Festspiele, the Bachfesttage in Köthen, the Concerti a San Maurizio in Milan, the Early Music Forum Budapest, the Hausmusik concert series of the ORF Vienna, the Lute Society London, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Bachwoche Ansbach and the Händel festivals in Halle an der Saale and in Göttingen.

He was a disciple of Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Jordi Savall, with whom he worked for several years as a member of Hespèrion XX. As a soloist he is regularly invited to appear with the most prestiguous Early Music ensembles, such as Concentus Musicus Wien, the Academy of Ancient Music, and Il Giardino Armonico. He was artistic director of Ensemble Baroque de Limoges for 20 years, winning recognition for instance for its recordings of Bach cantatas. In 1984 he founded the Quatuor Mosaïques, which he has since led. Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert are among their main repertoire; their recordings repeatedly received the prestigious Gramophone Awards. Christophe Coin taught cello and viola da gamba at Schola Cantorum in Basel and at the Paris Conservatory. As a soloist and as a conductor he has performed in many concerts around the globe.

Maria Tecla Andreotti was born in Turin, Italy. She graduated from Stanford University with the degree “Bachelor of Art”. Her interest in baroque music developed during her studies in Strasbourg, where she studied harpsichord at the Conservatoire with Aline Zylberajch and flute with Jean-François Alizon. During this time she also studied flute with Philippe Suzanne in Paris. In 1986 he obtained her soloist diploma from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the class of Barthold Kuijken.

She worked as a solo flutist in Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, with whom she recorded many CDs (chamber music by Telemann, Rameau, Bach cantatas, etc.). In 2006 she recorded Bach’s sonatas with the harpsichordist Willem Jansen and subsequently performed at leading Bach festivals (Leipzig, Freiberg, Salzburg, Ansbach). She is regularly invited to give seminars and masterclasses at conservatories and music colleges.

Her passion for baroque dance made her start the project Le Caprice des Passions in 2004 in collaboration with the dancers Edith Lalonger and Gilles Poirier. Since 2005 she works together with Françoise Denieau in the performance Bach Suite to choreography of Bach’s Partitas for Flute. She also created the choreography for the performance Maître à danser in 2008. From May 2012 to January 2013 Maria Tecla Andreotti performed in the production Bourgeois Gentilhomme directed by Denis Podalydès (Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord).

Lenka Horalová focused for many years primarily on contemporary dance, especially as a member of the ensemble Filigree in Brno. Since 2004, she started to explore the world of Baroque dance, first in the form of occasional seminars and summer schools with local and foreign teachers (Hana Slačálková, Andrea Miltnerová, Dorothée Wortelboer, Béatrice Massin, Françoise Denieau, Bérangère Bodénan, Ludovica Mosca), including participation in the renowned Academy in Sablé-sur-Sarthe (France). She also owes much to the collaboration with her father, the dancer and teacher František Dofek. Since 2012, she devotes herself continuously to Baroque dance under the auspices of Alla Danza Brno. In the summer 2015, they participated in the project Bach 15 of the French choreographer Béatrice Massin, which explores using the principles of Baroque dance in a completely contemporary context.

Alla Danza Brno was founded in 2012 as the Brno section of the well-established Prague historical dance ensemble Alla Danza. While the original Prague group engages in dances ranging from Gothic to the 19th century, Alla Danza Brno under the artistic direction of František Dofek specializes in the Baroque period. It deals primarily with the interpretation of the original choreography of social and theatrical dance of the French Baroque, aimed at its own choreographic productions, for example in last year’s cooperation to bring Purcell’s opera The Tempest on stage at Brno’s educational theatre Divadlo na Orlí.

Martina Komínková plays recorder since childhood, and after graduating in flute from the Conservatory in Brno, she devoted herself professionally. She visited courses and seminars such as the Summer School of Early Music in Prachatice, and took private lessons in Holland with Heiko ter Schegget (Utrechts Conservatorium). She graduated from Masaryk University in the Theory and Practice of Ancient Music. She completed an course with Peter Holtslag at Hochschule für Music und Theater Hamburg and continued her studies with him at the Akademia Muzyczna in Cracow, where she earned a master’s degree. Afterwards, she studied recorder with Carin van Heerden at Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität Linz (2011–2013). Since 2001, she teaches at Veveří Music School, Brno, and since 2009 recorder as main subject at Brno Conservatory. She passes her experience on to other music pedagogs through Brno Conservatory’s “Wind Saturdays” (since 2009) and the summer courses “Bystřická letní fletna” (since 2010).

She performs in solo concerts as well as with chamber ensembles and orchestras at home and abroad. In addition, she performs on baroque and renaissance traversos (Bohemia renaissance consort – Tourdion). She performs regularly with the recorder quartet Flautas de Colores, with whom she recorded the CD Pall Mall in 2014. She has participated in various projects, particularly interesting was a cooperation with Capella Cracoviensis (2012, 2013). She performed with Flautas de Colores in the Bach Organ Festival Brno, in Barbara Maria Willi’s concert series, and in Weimar.

After his Primary Degree from the Conservatory in Parma, Davide Monti specialised in Early Music with numerous professors (E. Gatti, E. Parizzi, S. Richie, M. Huggett). Davide’s playing has evolved thanks to collaboration with great musicians of our time: from Ton Koopman to Alberto Rasi, Vittorio Ghielmi to Michael Radulescu, Marcello Scandelli to Roberta Invernizzi, Gemma Bertagnolli to Stefano Veggetti, Stefano Montanari to Sergio Vartolo.

As leader of many ensembles he is known for his energy and charisma, creating a special sound in an orchestra. He has been leader of numerous orchestras including The European Baroque Orchestra (EUBO), Il Tempio Armonico, Athestis e Accademia de li Musici, Il Complesso Barocco, Cordia, Teatro Armonico. He is noted for his work with small chamber groups and chamber orchestras including Accademia Strumentale Italiana, Ensemble il Falcone, le Parlement de Musique and Arparla with the harpist Maria Christina Cleary, — encounters that are precious moments for research and experimentation.

This formed the idea of the score being a canvas, every performance and interpretation is different. Supporting this philosophy, he focuses on the Art of improvising; as in Early Music performing practise the experience of improvising is paralleled to other branches of “cultured” Art (jazz, theatre, traditional music, dance).

Davide has given Masterclasses in Japan, lectured at Makerere University and in Kampala, and at Summer Courses in Italy. He performed as Soloist with the Orchestra of the Arena in Verona. He has recorded for many record labels: Agorà, Bongiovanni, Brilliant, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Dynamics, Naive, Opus 111, ORF, Radio Svizzera Italiana, Sonica, Stradivarius and Tactus. He performs throughout the world (America, Africa, Europe, Japan) and received great acclaim in Argentina and Brazil as director and soloist.
