Performed by pianist Zbyněk Pilbauer, the evening will feature works by four remarkable figures of Czech music: Josef Suk, Josef Bohuslav Foerster, Vítězslav Novák and Adam Skoumal. The programme offers a captivating journey through Czech piano music, ranging from intimate, lyrical compositions to technically demanding works full of emotion and expressive contrasts.
The recital brings together the musical legacy of three prominent Czech composers from the turn of the 20th century with the contemporary voice of Adam Skoumal, an acclaimed pianist, composer and professor at the Prague Conservatory. Alongside Suk’s poetic compositions, audiences will hear Foerster’s works for the left hand, including pieces dedicated to pianist Otakar Hollmann, as well as a movement from Vítězslav Novák’s monumental tone poem Pan.
