The Suk Chamber Orchestra, a nimble Prague-based ensemble founded in 1974 by Czech Philharmonic members, carries the legacy of violinist Josef Suk (their namesake) while championing Central European classical gems. Known for crisp, lively interpretations, they’ve built a catalog celebrating Czech composers like Benda, Zelenka, and Tůma alongside Baroque and Classical heavyweights like Bach and Mozart. Their recordings—from Stamitz cello concertos to live collabs with modern artists—mix scholarly care with approachable energy, making 18th-century works feel fresh. Whether resurrecting overlooked regional pieces or polishing warhorses like the *St. John Passion*, they’re like your coolest history teacher: deeply knowledgeable but never stuffy.
