About us

The male voice choir Láska opravdivá was founded by Jaroslav Černocký and Jan Špaček in 2009 with the intention to revive the once rich and now nearly faded tradition of interpretation of compositions for male choir. The choral body is based in Brno at the Institute of Musicology, which is part of the Faculty of Arts of the Masaryk University, and its members are mostly students or alumni of various Brno colleges. At present there are about twenty permanent members. The repertoire specializes in orthodox sacred music, mostly of East Slavic tradition, and in Czech choral music of the 19th and 20th centuries, especially by Leoš Janáček. Láska opravdivá  ("True Love") is the title of one of Janáček’s early male choruses on folk lyrics; as a name for a choral body, it should symbolize its repertoire’s unity of sacred music and folk song.

What we are doing

We rehearse every Tuesday from 18 to 21 p.m. in building N. We perform at individual concerts as well as accompanying various cultural events. We specialize in Czech choral (mainly secular) music and in Orthodox chants of various national cultures. 

The choir can also be attended by enrolling in the course FF:HV_15b Collegium male choir, awarded 4 credits each semester.
