PARALELES

MOSTLY CZECH / PARALLELS

Chamber music is the space of the intimate, innermost expression. This space, although narrow, is wide open to those who long for purity and mastery in art. Those who want to listen deeply and communicate with the great masters without vain. And this happens when chamber music is made by dedicated masters, then the fulfillment of the experience is unquestionable. In his Quartet, Bedřich Smetana shares the tragedy of his deafness, and his successor Antonin Dvořák professes his love for his Bohemia (“to my people” reads the dedication) in his String Quintet. Dark and light / despair and hope – this is the framework of this concert, performed by artists for whom chamber music is both a cause and a pleasure … which, I believe, will be passed on to the audience.
