Prague Philharmonic Choir

The Prague Philharmonic Choir (PPC) was founded in 1935 by choirmaster and teacher Jan Kühn. Now in its 90th season, it is the oldest professional choir in the Czech Republic. The Choir is celebrated too beyond the Czech borders, especially for its interpretations or oratorios and cantatas. Lukáš Vasilek became Principal Conductor and Artistic Director in 2007, and he is joined by Lukáš Kozubík as the Prague Philharmonic Choir’s second main Choirmaster. Under Lukáš Vasilek, the choir has built its reputation as a highly respected performing partner of leading international orchestras. At home, the ensemble collaborates regularly with the Czech Philharmonic and for its own choral concerts, with the Prague Philharmonia. Internationally, the PPC has worked, amongst others, with the Berlin and Dresden Philharmonikers, Wiener Symphoniker and NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. The PPC has also gained much experience working with the world’s top conductors including Semyon Bychkov, Jakub Hrůša, Sir Simon Rattle, Daniel Harding, Zubin Mehta and Christoph Eschenbach.
