Czech Radio Chorus

The Czech Radio Chorus is a dynamic vocal ensemble deeply rooted in Czech musical traditions, formed under the umbrella of Czech Radio to showcase choral works from classical gems to modern compositions. Known for their polished harmonies and versatility, they’ve become a go-to group for interpreting everything from Baroque church music to 20th-century political symphonies, often spotlighting Czech composers like Dvořák, Foerster, and lesser-known figures such as Kardoš or Jirko. Their recordings, like *Music at Prague’s Saint James Church* or *Dvořák: Dimitrij*, reflect their knack for breathing life into historic pieces and operatic drama alike.

Whether tackling requiems, a cappella cycles, or politically charged symphonic works, the chorus leans into its role as a cultural preservationist—think of them as the friendly archivists of Czech choral heritage. Their collaborations with Czech Radio orchestras and focus on radio-friendly performances make their work both accessible and scholarly, perfect for listeners who want to dive into Central Europe’s rich musical tapestry without stuffy concert-hall vibes.
