Chamber music for voice and instruments will be represented in Series I by a grand concert featuring works by Bohuslav Martinů and Jiří Gemrot. The shared theme draws inspiration from Czech traditions, especially those rooted in the Vysočina region. Mikeš of the Mountains is one of several cantatas by Martinů celebrating his native land. Gemrot continues this theme with a piece based on the customs of the region's historic glassmakers.
