Baroque Orchestra, located in Prague, Czechia, was founded in 1992 by the cellist and conductor Marek Štryncl as an ensemble whose ideal is to perform Baroque music the way it was performed in the era when it was composed. Playing on original instruments, supported by study of period sources and aesthetics, has become indispensable and at the same time a characteristic trait of the ensemble. Musica Florea's repertoire extends from the early Baroque through masterpieces from that era's culminating decades to music in the Classical style. It includes instrumental chamber music, vocal-instrumental works both sacred and secular, orchestral concertos, and monumental works in the genres of opera and oratorio.
