Biography
IVANA Bilej BROUKOVÁ – soprano – graduated in singing from the Prague Conservatory and the Berlin Hochschule der Künste (2000),
where, under the instruction of lutenist Nigel North, she became acquainted with the authentic interpretation of early music.
That led her to develop an interest in music from the Early Baroque to the Early Classical
period. She has attended master classes,
for example, with Emma Kirkby, Jill Feldman, Richard Wistreich,
and René Jacobs.
She was awarded a prize in the Biagio Marini (BRD) competition and was on a year’s scholarship at the Akademie für Alte Musik, Bremen.
In past years she has been invited to participate in opera projects, for example, the Lausitzer
Opernsommer and the Sferisterio Opera Festival, Macerata. That is where she began to work with the Tuscan ensemble Florilegio Musicale. At home and abroad she gives concerts with various professional ensembles concerned with early music (Capella Regia, Hipocondria Ensemble, Collegium 1704, Tiburtina ensemble, Ensemble Tourbillon a.o.) and also in duets with Ophira Zakai and Jan Krejča.
