The Prague Madrigalists (or Prague Madrigal Singers; in Czech: Pražští madrigalisté) is a Czech chamber music ensemble founded in 1956[1] as Noví pěvci madrigalů a komorní hudby (in English: New Madrigal and Chamber Music Singers) by the organist and composer Miroslav Venhoda.
It was renamed to Prague Madrigalists and professionalized in 1967.
