Maybe Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k with his Gypsy Melodies or Biblical Songs, or perhaps Schubert and Schumann for those more knowledgeable &#8211; but there is much more. Even the masters created a lot of wonderful art songs that aren\u2019t heard as often as is deserved. And what about composers from whom you wouldn&#8217;t expect songs at all? And finally, there are the forgotten composers who have yet to make their modern debuts or have yet to write their works for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, all this is behind the term \u201cart song\u201d. It&#8217;s a lot, isn&#8217;t it? And we&#8217;ve decided to introduce you to it as much as possible, through concerts, festivals, recordings, videos, courses, talks, and lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started in Oxford. Yes, it may sound surprising, but it was there that Jan Du\u0161ek, the founder of our association, was inspired for several years. The renowned Oxford Lieder Festival has been running there for many years, where Jan heard several interesting concerts, and realised that a similar platform was missing in the Czech Republic. After his return, the Lieder Company was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are a community of musicians, singers, pianists, and other fans of this somewhat neglected genre. On our &#8220;board&#8221; you can find leading Czech singers, as well as young talents who have already achieved considerable success. Our ranks are constantly expanding too, which makes us very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall in love with art songs as much as we have. It&#8217;s worth it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do the terms \u2018Lieder\u2019, \u2018Lied\u2019 or \u2019Art Song\u2019 bring to mind?
