Musical matinee - foray through Czech music

‘Every Czech is a musician.’ This is a Czech proverb. In fact, our neighbouring country has an exceptionally rich musical tradition compared to its size. This concert will feature compositions from the 18th to the 20th century: from the ‘Bohemian Bach’ Jan Dismas Zelenka, the national composers Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana to Czech modernism with Leoš Janáček, Bohuslav Martinů and Vítězslava Kaprálová. Music from Terezín will also be played to commemorate 80 years since the end of the war.

Welcome: Prof. Dr Mirjam Boggasch, Rector of the University of the Arts

Moderation: Elisabeth Hahn

Performers: Gretel Jazeron, Jula Murbach, Kalliopi Rizou and Elena Tsantidis.
