The Czech Society for Chamber Music (CSCM) opens its 130th anniversary season. The dramaturgy of 28 concerts divided into five cycles is truly varied this year. Look forward to works by Dvořák, Smetana and Mozart, as well as contemporary composers such as Lera Auerbach and Petr Popelka. Petr Popelka is this year's curator and, in addition to his role as composer, he will also appear as double bassist and pianist.
Ivan Klánský, after a rather long absence, has accepted an invitation to the most prestigious chamber music series. His recital will include Frederic Chopin, of course, besides other composers. The programming of the series will be enlivened by the confrontation of international artists with Czech performers.
During the last two seasons, we have become accustomed to a prominent figure serving as the artistic face of one series. That will be the case again this year, when the cellist of the Pavel Haas Quartet Peter Jarůšek will take part in planning the programme for Series II.
Recital Series R has been in existence for just two seasons, but it is already an essential part of the programming of the Czech Chamber Music Society, and it continues to attract a new audience. Again this year it offers four concerts given by the world’s greatest artists who are definitely worthy of our attention.
Again in the cycle of Early Evening Concerts, there will be one programme that was originally postponed because of the pandemic. On it, the Graff Quartet will join with mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochová in a programme including Respighi’s Il tramonto.
With respect to programming and instrumentation, the Saturday Matinee Series in the Martinů Hall will probably be the most varied. Two concerts will be devoted to great composers.
