The ARS Brunensis Chamber Choir was founded in Brno in 1979 and since then has participated in many international competitions, winning, among other successes, the IFAS in Pardubice in 1998. Under the direction of the young Czech conductor Dan Kalousek, who succeeded Jan Rozehnal and Roman Valek, the choir is much sought after for broadcasts and recordings and gives regular concerts with the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra’s Chamber Orchestra and the Brno Chamber Orchestra. The choir’s repertoire ranges from early unaccompanied works to the contemporary.
