Sojka Quartet

The new Joachim Wollenweber Edition (www.jarmandi.de) refocuses the public’s attention on forgotten composers of the classical and romantic periods. New sheet music editions are created in collaboration with top artists, musicologists and radio stations, with CD recordings being published at the same time. This fifth CD of the series is devoted to four composers from the Bohemian countries of the second half of the 18th century: Antonín Kammel, Florian Leopold Gassmann, Franz Koczwara, and Anton Zimmermann. The CD is impressive proof of the position of the Bohemian string chamber music, which had great standing and was quite widely known during its time. The works are largely first recordings, all set for string quartet, with the addition of a trio for two violas and cello. The Sojka String Quartet was founded by students of the department of music at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (AMU, Czech Republic). Since 2009, it has been playing with the following members: Martin Kos and Martin Kaplan (violins), Josef Fiala (viola), and Hana Vítková (cello). The ensemble focuses on the music of the classical period, and on the contemporary music of the Czech Republic. In 2015, the quartet played concerts among others in Japan and took part in the Festival for Contemporary Music in Prague.
