He M° Macek, as well as having discovered this mass, He is director of the Teatro del Castello di Český Krumlov (Southern Bohemia), which represents an almost unique case of baroque theater perfectly preserved in its original state (1766). From 2000 performs it annually, with the Hof-Musici ensemble, almost exclusively first performances in modern times of works by Alessandro Scarlatti, Nicola Porpora, Antonio Vivaldi, John Adolf Hasse, Antonio Caldara, Antonio Draghi, Antonio Boroni, Antonio Gianettini, Antonio Cesti and others; works that to this day have remained unknown and preserved in European archives and libraries.
In these five years, the “Note Senza Tempo” Festival has carried out an action to disseminate a musical genre that is little known and listened to in concert halls., and today it stands as the only festival on the island to deal with ancient music. A few months ago he received an important certificate of quality with the admission to Rema Early Music in Europe, a network made up of the best 150 early music festival in Europe.
This event is made possible thanks to the collaboration with the “Marialisa De Carolis” Concert Authority and with the sacred music department of the “Casa dei Populi Culture e Religioni” Academy Foundation of Sassari, entities that have shown great sensitivity and interest in dissemination opportunities such as the one proposed by the APS Dolci Accenti.
