Duo in Corpore
In Corpore was formed in the summer of 2005 and plays mainly Baroque music. Sonatas for violin and piano by J. S. Bach and masterpieces by other composers (Veraccini, Vitalli) have been on the duo’s programme since the very beginning. Its repertoire was gradually expanded to include modern composers (Bloch) and a “trace amount” of Romantic compositions (Franck).
The need inwardly to identify with the music is a common denominator of the selected compositions and their interpretation.
This projects itself into the effort to bring the music nearer to the listeners’ real, authentic perception, thus immediately involving him/her in the listening. The conditions created during the production itself perfect this “embroilment”: the performers play as close as possible to the audience, do not leave the podium, and usually introduce the concert themselves. During the production only spot lighting is used to allow one fully to concentrate on the performance.
In Corpore identify with the sentiment that classical music must be treated not as an “antique” but as a vital “philosophy of life”, as living energy.
Lukáš Kuta made his début at the age of 10, and has appeared on television and radio since childhood. He has been a guest of the philharmonic orchestras of Hradec Králové, Mariánské lázně and Karlovy Vary, the National Theatre orchestra and the Nijmegen Chamber Orchestra (Holland), playing concertos by J. S. Bach, A. Vivaldi, A. Dvořák, Wieniawski, Bruch, etc.
In recent years he has devoted more and more time to chamber music, notably returning to Bach, and it is from this that his collaboration with Anežka Misauerová evolved. Apart from Bach and Baroque virtuosos, he plays selected late Romantic works.
Anežka Misauerová was born in Prague in 1980. In 2005 she graduated from the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory in Prague (Prof. Jan Vrána), while at the same time finishing her studies in pedagogy at the Charles University Faculty of Philosophy. In 2001 she received Honours in the competition of Czech conservatories, and completed an international piano course in Týn nad Vltavou that same year.
She currently manages a project supporting handicapped children, and conducts a special piano class of her own.
She has been working with Lukáš Kuta since 2005.
