Since it was founded in 1997, the Prague ensemble Collegium Marianum has focused on presenting the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially by composers who were born or active in central Europe. One of the few professional ensembles specialising in this field in the Czech Republic, Collegium Marianum not only gives musical performances, but regularly also stages scenic projects. Since 1999 the ensemble’s artistic director has been the flautist and musicologist Jana Semerádová, whose active research into Baroque gesture, declamation, and dance has expanded the ensemble’s projects to include Baroque dance and theatre. Her distinctive thematic approach to programming has led to numerous modern premieres of historical music. The ensemble has collaborated with renowned European conductors, soloists, directors and choreographers such as Andrew Parrott, Hana Blažíková, Damien Guillon, Peter Kooij, Sergio Azzolini, François Fernandez, Simona Houda-Šaturová, Benjamin Lazar, Jean-Denis Monory and Gudrun Skamletz. The ensemble has also maintained a long-term collaboration with the Buchty a loutky theatre company, producing some highly original projects, such as Francesco Cavalli‘s opera Calisto staged with marionettes. The ensemble has appeared extensively on the Czech Radio and TV as well as on the radio abroad. It regularly performs at music festivals and on prestigious stages both in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe, including Alter Musik Regensburg, Bachfest Leipzig, Festspiele Potsdam-Sanssouci, Mitte Europa, Festival de Sablé, Bolzano Festival, Palau Música Barcelona, Pražské jaro and Concentus Moraviae. In 2008 the ensemble started a successful collaboration with the Supraphon CD-label. Within the Music from Eighteenth-Century Prague series it has launched six recordings. Since 2001 Collegium Marianum has presented the concert cycle Baroque soirées. Due to its thematic programming and close interconnection with the historical spaces of Old Prague, the series is unique not only in the Czech, but international context. Collegium Marianum is the ensemble in residence of the international music festival Summer Festivities of Early Music. In January 2010 Collegium Marianum was awarded with an honour for the credits of quality and for the general promotion of Czech music, presented by the International Music Council by UNESCO.
Flautist Jana Semerádová is a world-class soloist, conductor, musicologist, and creator of unique artistic projects. A graduate of the Prague Conservatory, the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague (Theory and Practice of Early Music), and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague, Netherlands, she is also a laureate of the Magdeburg and Munich international competitions. Jana Semerádová is the artistic director of Collegium Marianum and programming director of the concert cycle Baroque Soirées and the international music festival Summer Festivities of Early Music. She undertakes intensive archival research both at home and abroad and is engaged in ongoing study of Baroque gesture, declamation and dance. Many of her unique programmes are built around the interconnection of music and drama. Under her direction, Collegium Marianum stages several contemporary premieres of musical works each year. Jana Semerádová has a number of CDs to her name; her recordings with Collegium Marianum are featured as part of the successful series Music from Eighteenth-Century Prague on the Supraphon label, for which she has also recorded her two signature CDs Solo for the King and Chaconne for the Princess. Jana Semerádová has performed at leading European concert venues and festivals (such as Bachfest Leipzig, Oude Muziek Utrecht, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci, Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, Händel-Festspiele in Halle, Festival de Sablé, Prague Spring, Tage Alter Musik Regensburg, Wratislavia Cantans, Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles, the Konzerthaus in Vienna and Berlin, and Palau de la Música Catalana), collaborated as a soloist with various artists, including Magdalena Kožená, Sergio Azzolini, Alfredo Bernardini, and Enrico Onofri, and regularly performs with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Il Suonar Parlante, Wrocławska Orkiestra Barokowa, Orkiestra Historyczna and Ars Antiqua Austria. In 2015 she received her habilitation degree as an associate professor of flute from the Faculty of Music and Dance at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Since 2024, she has been teaching at the Kryszstof Penderiecki Academy of Music in Kraków. In 2019 she was awarded the prize of the Prague Group of the Society for Arts and Sciences. A year later, Jana Semerádová and Erich Traxler were nominated for the Anděl Awards (category Classics) for their CD Chaconne for the Princess. In December 2024, Jana Semerádová was awarded the prestigious French Order of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres), at the grade of Knight (Chevalier).
