In 1993, some students of the Vídeňská Street Grammar School, wishing to continue choral singing after leaving the school, founded a choir and gave it the name “Vox Iuvenalis”, “the Voice of Youth”. Since then, they have performed in the Czech Republic as well as abroad and earned themselves a reputation of a first-rate youth choir, as testified by the numerous prizes obtained by both the choir and its conductor, Jan Ocetek. In 2000, the choir came under the aegis of the Brno Technical University, thus becoming the university’s cultural envoy. The choir numbers nearly 35 members, all of them students and graduates of Brno universities, and has an extensive repertoire stretching from 16th century compositions to contemporary works, with 20th century Czech choral and sacred music featuring prominently. Throughout the year, Vox Iuvenalis makes regular appearances at events as diverse as Easter concerts of sacred music, light-hearted concerts marking the end of the academic year, performances celebrating the anniversary of the 1989 revolution, and Christmas concerts. Recently, the choir has been invited by chamber and symphony orchestras to partner with them to perform choral masterpieces such as A F. Poulenc - “Gloria”, G. F. Handel - “Messiah”, A. Dvořák – “Svatá Ludmila” and many more. The choir has recorded five albums, won over a dozen of awards, taken part in many festivals both at home and abroad, and worked together with a lot of renowned choirs and orchestras.
