We are Belfiato Quintet 

We are a wind quintet formed by young Czech musicians, graduates from the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The ensemble was founded in 2005, its members studied at the Prague Conservatoire in the class of Ondrej Roskovec (Czech Philharmonic, Afflatus Quintet). Subsequently, Belfiato cooperated with professor Stepan Koutnik (Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) and professor Gottfried Pokorny (Universität für Musik und Darstellende Künst Wien). We play in leading orchestras, such as the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech National Theatre orchestra or PKF - Prague Philharmonia. We were given prizes at numerous international competitions, among them the ARD competition in Munich, Prague Spring Competition or Concertino Praga.

Our ensemble earned some rewards at international competitions, such as the “Antonin Rejcha prize” at the International Festival in Semmering, Austria. At the 6th International Woodwind Quintet Competition “Henri Tomasi”, held in Marseille in 2011, Belfiato Quintet was awarded a prize for the best interpretation of Henri Tomasi`s composition. Belfiato Quintet performs regularly on stages in the Czech Republic and abroad. It has appeared in concert seasons of the Czech Philharmonic, Czech Chamber Music Society, Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Prague Philharmonia. We have cooperated with both Czech Television and Czech Radio.

One of our goals is to promote and present Czech music in the Czech Republic and abroad. Belfiato was invited to perform at the Prague Spring Festival in 2014 with a programme by Czech composers as Rejcha, Haas, Foerster and Janáček, but also in concert halls all over Europe. At the end of 2017, we will go on tour to Japan.

 

In good hands

After many years of experiences, concerts and various projects, it is really time to record an album. For our debut record, we have chosen principal works of Czech music for wind quintet. Three pieces by Czech authors: the sextet “Youth” by Leoš Janáček and wind quintets by Josef Bohuslav Foerster and Pavel Haas.

All three pieces were created within the period of 20 years. They are all of different styles and the composers composed them in different life periods (as chance would have it, all of them had round anniversaries). Foerster was 50 and although he was 5 years younger than Janáček, his music seems to be older in style. Janáček composed his “Youth” in his nostalgic age of 70. The third piece was written by thirty-year-old Pavel Haas, who is trying to reconcile in it with the influence of his teacher (Janáček) and search his idiosyncratic style.

We are recording in the premises of the evangelical church in Korunní street in Prague. The recording process is under supervision of the sound engineer Jan Lžičař and director Jiří Gemrot. Thanks to their experience, these gentlemen are helping us immensely, being themselves real masters in their field.

To play Janáček`s sextet “Youth”, we decided to invite the bass clarinetist Jindra Pavliš, the member of PFK – Prague Philharmonia and the co-founder of our favourite musical ensemble Clarinet Factory.

Professor PhDr. Jaromír Havlík prepared the catchy text for our booklet. He is an outstanding teacher and musicologist. Pictures for our booklet will be taken by Tomáš Hejzlar in the premises of the alternative café Vnitroblock. Just you wait!

We will be grateful for any help with the recording of our first CD. Get to know us closer, choose from many attractive rewards! We look forward to seeing you at one of our concerts or at the launch party for our new album, on June 12th 2017 in Suk Hall of Rudolfinum.

Thank you!
