The MoEns ensemble (till 2001
Mondschein ensemble), established in 1995, was created by a
group of Prague-based performers and composers to be a permanent
platform for the professional performance of contemporary music
via a stable musical body. The aim of the ensemble is to present
detailed and specialised interpretation of new works and, by so
doing, to encourage the creation of demanding works for the
ensemble. The Basis of the MoEns ensemble's repertoire
incorporates is music written by the younger generation of the
Czech composers.
This is complemented by contemporary music from abroad and also
by selected "classics" of new music. In its projects the
ensemble focuses on various personalities, schools or
contemporary music culture of other countries (e.g. Kagel,
Reich, New Complexity, Lithuania, Finland, Hungary, Japan). The
ensemble commissions young composers every year, and during 10
years of its existence gave more than 50 premieres. The
musicians of the ensemble also regularly make recordings of
Czech contemporary music for the Czech Radio and CD companies.
The ensemble has played in such contemporary music festivals as
Fliesende Grenzen - Hamburg, the
Prague Spring Festival,
the
Exposition of New Music - Brno, Melos Ethos - Bratislava,
New Music Marathon - Prague, Roaring Hooves - Ulanbaatar, Forum
neuer Musik - Koeln, Dartington Music Festival, Weimarer
Fruhjahrstage für Zeitgenössische Musik,
Klangspuren Schwaz,
Trieste Prima, Contempuls - Prague.

Quotes:
...The two
ensembles (MoEns + Bohemia Saxophone Quartet)
under conducting of Miroslav Pudlak appeared very homogenous and
played technically faultlessly.
Tiroler Tageszeitung 2006
… It was something undefinably refreshing, as those seven
musicians showed unussual enthusiasm. Robert Nemecek –
Kammermusik aus Ost und West – Ensemble – Düsseldorf 2004
…MoEns belongs to important elements of Czech contemporary
musical scene. Like our Ensemble Modern or Ensemble Recherche it
si formed by fist class musicians who are very familiar with
problems of contemporary music and have experience with all
sorts of compositions. Hanno Ehler - Musiktexte 101 –, Köln
2004
… Prague ensemble MoEns played with great intensity (…) and
in Barton's Oasis and Pudlák's Aria presented pieces hardly
classifiable into any historical time. The pieces by Barton and
Pudlak, as well as those by their colleagues Graham, Nejtek and
Ivanovic very effectively used repetitive patterns, tonal
centres, statical timbre blocs, reminiscences to avant-guard and
more. After all - a realistic experience of today's life.
Neue Musikzeitschrift 4/2004 – Georg Beck: Neue Musik auf dem
west-ostlichen Diwan
The top event of the whole festival was the performance of
Mondschein Ensemble conducted by Miroslav Pudlak.
(Hospodarske noviny, May 23, 2002)
Good quality performance and interesting repertoire.
(Hudobny zivot, 12/2001, Bratislava)
Ensemble Mondschein, which has been active for three years
and which builds its position on the fringe of post-modern
style, played on stage at the Prague Spring Festival concert in
an excellent shape. (...) The presentation of contemporary music
in this way was the best possible choice. (MF Dnes, May 23,
1998).
The credo of Mondschein is to be a service to the
contemporary music by a learned approach and the most precise
interpretation. The artistic leader of the group, Mr. Kamil
Dolezal, our best contemporary music clarinettist, seems to be
is the right person to accomplish such a mission, as he is able
to enrapture other musicians with his enthusiasm and
thoroughness. (MF Dnes, March 5, 1997).
