Music full of virtuosity and powerful stories fills an evening that connects the rising generation with distinguished figures of the Czech music scene. Works by composers such as Bedřich Smetana, Váša Příhoda, Oskar Nedbal, and Dmitri Shostakovich will be performed by young talents of the South Bohemian Piano Courses and the Ševčík Academy. They will be joined on stage by leading Czech artists who will lend their exceptional artistic depth: cellist Tomáš Jamník and pianist Jan Bartoš. The concert also commemorates the 120th anniversary of the birth of Dmitri Shostakovich – a composer whose music continues to fascinate with its intensity, urgency, and profound humanity.
