Collegium 1704 conductor and artistic director V\u00e1clav Luks received the Order of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) with the rank of Knight from Ambassador Alexis Dutertre during a ceremony at the French Embassy in Prague on 21 June 2022. The Order is conferred by the French Minister for Culture for distinguished services in the field of culture, arts, and literature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e1clav Luks has a number of unique achievements in the interpretation of French musical repertoire. For instance, with Collegium 1704, he made the second-ever complete recording of Rameau’s opera Les Bor\u00e9ades<\/em>, which won the prestigious awards Troph\u00e9es 2021 and Edison 2021 for the Opera Recording of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the Order of Arts and Letters has been conferred on a number of prominent personalities who connect Czech and French culture, such as mezzo-soprano Magdalena Ko\u017een\u00e1, composer Petr Eben, director Ji\u0159\u00ed Menzel, and former president and playwright V\u00e1clav Havel. More recent recipients include photographer Libu\u0161e Jarcovj\u00e1kov\u00e1, director Andrea Sedl\u00e1\u010dkov\u00e1, and illustrator Lucie Lomov\u00e1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
