Early Evening Concerts
The Early Evening Concerts Series offers music from the Baroque period to the 20th-century, and opens with a theatre-music monodrama about Alma Rosé. Curator Mahan Esfahani presents younger talents in Manuel de Falla’s Harpsichord Concerto, while Czech ensembles like Trio Kalliopé and Stamic Quartet will also make an appearance.
Season curator Mahan Esfahani has invited leading musicians of the younger generation to participate and this will culminate in in a performance of Manuel de Falla’s vibrant Harpsichord Concerto. A pure Baroque evening will be led by Czech Philharmonic bassoonist Martin Petrák and his Haydn Ensemble. The series also features renowned Czech ensembles such as Trio Kalliopé and the Stamic Quartet, and will conclude with a recital by violinist Ivan Ženatý and pianist Martin Kasík.
