Strings suit songs

The combination of the human voice and string instruments has been attractive to many composers, especially in the 20th century, but remains so today. This concert is made up of works in which the accompaniment of the songs is not provided by the usual piano, but by a string quartet or just a selection of some strings.

The concert will include the world premiere of a composition by Miloš Štědroň composed for soprano Irena Troupová and mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochová.

For the concert we have also commissioned a piece by the Czech female composer Terezie Švarcová, which we will also perform in its world premiere.

There will also be wonderful works by Ottorino Respighi, Viktor Ullmann and Paul Hindemith, which were also composed for this setting.

The compositions will be presented in the original languages and accompanied by Czech subtitles.

Ottorino Respighi: Il tramonto for voice and string quartet
Paul Hindemith: Melancholie, Op.13 for voice and string quartet
