35 years of partnership with Prague is reason enough for a concert with Czech music! Smetana and Dvořák are two of our neighbouring country's most famous composers and they are represented alongside a string quartet by Hans Krása, written in 1935. Stylistically, this work occupies a fascinating space between tradition and modern sounds.

Franz Schubert's quartet movement recalls the unfulfilled hopes of his short life and, in its expressive musical language, reveals a world of past desires and losses.

Written in the 1930s by Jewish Czech composer Hans Krása and originally performed by children at the Theresienstadt concentration camp during WWII, Brundibár is a tale about a sparrow, a cat and a wise dog who help Annette and Little Joe raise money to save their ailing mother, despite the evil plans of the wicked organ grinder Brundibár. A story of resilience, this opera has a history as moving as its story.

Annette and Little Joe need to get milk to make their sick mother better. In the town square they see the local busker, Brundibár playing his hurdy-gurdy for money. And they decide to follow suit by singing a song. Brundibár laughs at them and chases them away so he doesn’t have to compete with them for money. The children are very sad, when a Dog, a Cat and a Sparrow appear and offer to help the children stand up to Brundibár, they hatch a plan throughout the night and in the morning, the animals gather all the town children together to help Joe and Annette defeat the evil Brundibár.
