A Little Train Ride with Dvořák
The journey can be the destination. Come to a chamber concert of Antonín Dvořák's music with us. Where are we going? As far as America. How are we travelling? With Dvořák's favourite means of transport of course. Who is coming with us? Real string music experts.
Fašánek or Fun Folk Customs for the Whole Year
The cycle of workshops is based on the traditional folk rhymes, songs, and dances, on the legacy of Pavel Jurkovič, and the belief that folk poetry is timeless and always relevant while preserving the wisdom of our great-grandpas and great-grandmas. The common motif is the wicker wreath as the symbol of time and timelessness.
