It is my hope that many of you will be able to travel and attend this delicious program, and by doing so showing your support for what has become the most important and enjoyable week of the year! The conference promises also to be interesting, with the focus being on publishing and editing the music of Zelenka in the past, present and future. Contributions from distinguished scholars such as Michael Talbot, Fred Kiernan, Andrew Frampton and Janice B. Stockigt (who will chair the morning session) highlight the great importance of the annual conference for Zelenka research. It is my intention to give a paper on two of Zelenka’s closest working colleagues, the copyists known in the literature as ZS1 & ZS2 (ZS= Zelenka-Schreiber), who worked with the composer from the early 1730s and onwards, and as such were among the first editors of his music. The identity of these two persons has until now been a mystery, but the time has come to reveal their true names:).

The Zelenka Festival and Conference needs your support. So book a ticket, and make sure you do your part! I look forward to see you in Prague.

The Conference Program for the 2021 Zelenka Festival has just been announced (abstracts should follow soon):

"We cordially invite you to the Seventh Zelenka Conference to be held in Prague on October 16, 2021. The conference is organized by Ensemble Inégal, under the auspices of Institute of Musicology, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. Ensemble Inégal is a baroque music ensemble with a long term dedication to the life and work of J. D. Zelenka, and which is behind several concerts and premiere recordings of previously unknown compositions by this composer. Since 2015, this annual conference has presented a lot of new and crucial information about the life and work of Jan Dismas Zelenka and related topics. Thanks to the publication of many papers through the peer-reviewed online catalogue Clavibus Unitis, the process of research and discovery of new facts have been set in motion. The conference is part of the long-term project Zelenka Festival Prague Dresden."
