Die Gruppe Bakchus ist in Brünn im Jahre 2006 enstanden.

Wir befassen uns mit der Interpretation der Musik aus dem Mittelalter und der Renaissance. In unseren Darbietungen können Sie lateinische, deutsche, französische, spanische, englishe italienische, aber auch tschechische Lieder hören.

Zum größten Teil singen wir in den Originalsprachen. Bei unseren Auftritten benützen wir vorwiegend die Repliken mittelalterlicher Instrumente und die Atmosphäre unserer Auftritte wird durch zeitgemäße Kostüme verstärkt.

Unsere Musik ist geeignet zur Intensivierung der Atmosphäre von Stadt- oder Burgfesten, Festivalen, Jahrmärkten, Firmenfestlichkeiten und mittelalterlicher Kneipen. Bei unseren Auftritten im Freien wäre es von Nutzen eine Tonverstärkung zu benützen.
