About Pratum Integrum Orchestra

Pratum Integrum (from the Latin Pratum Integrum - mown meadow) is an orchestra playing Baroque and Classicist music on historic instruments. The artistic director is Pavel Serbin (cello) and the accompanist is Sergei Filchenko (violin). The Pratum Integrum Early Music Orchestra was founded in Moscow in 2003 with the support of Music Massam and immediately gained a reputation as an extremely unusual, bright and highly professional ensemble, loving hurricane paces and fresh interpretations. The core of the orchestra is made up of young Russian musicians, educated in Russia and abroad (France, Holland, Germany). The orchestra's founder and owner of the Caro Mitis label is Mikhail Serebryanny. Since the orchestra's foundation, its artistic director has been the cellist Pavel Serbin, and its concertmaster has been the violinist Sergey Filchenko. Pratum Integrum has already presented more than 200 works to the Russian public, including pieces by Russian composers recently found in archives from the court of emperors, French music listened to by Louis XIV and Louis XV, and Telemann overtures, so beloved in 18th century Germany. The exclusive domain of the Pratum Integrum orchestra is Russian music of the 18th century, the work of Russian and foreign composers who worked in Russia at that time. Pratum Integrum works with major European musicians, specialists in historical performance: Trevor Pinnock (UK), Sigiswald and Wieland Kuijken (Belgium), Alfredo Bernardini (Italy), Paul Esswood (UK), Sarah Mingardo (Italy), Christophe Rousset (France), Philippe Jarusky (France), Paolo Grazzi (Italy) and Peter Neumann. The Russian premiere of Lully's ballet The Seasons was staged with the participation of Pratum Integrum, a unique performance of Fomin's Orpheus melodrama was staged with the participation of the Russian Horn Orchestra, and concert performances of such operas as Gluck's Orpheus and Eurydice, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and Traetta's Antigone were given. Pratum Integrum devotes a great deal of attention to sacred music: it has introduced the Russian public to Mozart's Eibler version of Mozart's Requiem, performed Bach's Johannes Passion and Mass in B Minor, and attended the Russian premiere of Georg Goebel's Johannes Passion. During the season, the orchestra performs a new programme each month at the Moscow International House of Music as well as touring to various cities in Russia and European countries. The orchestra has made memorable appearances at major international festivals such as Tage Alter Music (Regensburg, 2006), Musica Antiqua (Bruges, 2006), Nordlysfestivalen (Tromsø, 2009, 2012, 2015) and Earlymusic (St. Petersburg, 2009-2013).
