The Lieder Company enters its first concert season, which will run in Prague from 8 May to 11 December. The opening three concerts are dedicated to France, partly symbolically linked to the exchange of the EU Presidency between France and the Czech Republic, but also reflecting important anniversaries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The first concert on 8 May will feature Olivier Messiaen’s rarely performed almost hour-long cycle Harawi, accompanied by two works by his teachers P. Dukas and M. Dupr\u00e9. This concert will mark 30 years since Messiaen’s death. Soprano Irena Troupov\u00e1, baritone Robin \u010cervinek and pianist Jan Du\u0161ek will perform.<\/p>\n\n

The second concert on 5 June is dedicated to the anniversaries of other French composers C\u00e9sar Franck, Claude Debussy and Jacques Ibert. Their works will be performed by soprano Jana Sibera, baritone Roman Jan\u00e1l and pianist Karel Ko\u0161\u00e1rek.<\/p>\n\n

The third concert on 26 June represents to some extent a link between Czech authors and France. Works inspired by French literature from the pen of B. Martin\u016f, V. Ullmann and H. Barton. The programme also includes cycles by L. Bernstein and the Romanian living composer A. Popa, whose works will be performed in the Czech premiere. For this concert, the Society has also commissioned a new composition by the young Czech composer Pavel Duda. The concert will feature soprano Irena Troupov\u00e1, mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochov\u00e1 and pianist Jan Du\u0161ek.<\/p>\n\n

With its September concert on 18 September, the association wants to explore lesser performed works by otherwise relatively well-known composers I. Stravinsky, A. Honegger, D. Milhaud and Z. Kod\u00e1ly, whose various anniversaries are also commemorated this year. Their works will be performed by mezzo-soprano Jana Hrochov\u00e1, baritone Robin \u010cervinek and pianist Bohum\u00edr Stehl\u00edk. Stravinsky’s works will also be performed by other instrumentalists.<\/p>\n\n

We consider the October 16th concert to be exceptional in its timing, taking place on the day exactly 110 years after the premiere of the 20th century’s seminal work: Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire. It will be performed at the concert together with the cycle A. Zemlinsky and a new work by the young composer and singer Vojt\u011bch \u0160embera, who will himself take on the interpretation. Irena Troupov\u00e1 will play the solo parts in the works by Sch\u00f6nberg and Zemlinsky, as well as leading Czech instrumentalists conducted by Petr Lou\u017eensk\u00fd.<\/p>\n\n

The festive November concert on 13 November, just a few days before the national holiday, presents songs by Czech composers K. B. Jir\u00e1k, P. Bo\u0159kovec, E. Schulhoff, O. M\u00e1cha and I. Hurn\u00edk, whose important anniversaries are also commemorated this year. The performers will be soprano Irena Troupov\u00e1, mezzo-soprano Lucie Hilscherov\u00e1, baritone Roman Jan\u00e1l and pianists Bohum\u00edr Stehl\u00edk and Jan Du\u0161ek.<\/p>\n\n

The final concert of the season on 11 December will have a very intimate tone, featuring canzonettas and songs by J. Haydn, J. A. Benda and J. L. Dus\u00edk (also this year’s jubilarians). All in an authentic, historically informed interpretation by renowned soprano Irena Troupov\u00e1 and pianist Petra Mat\u011bjov\u00e1, who will play the hammerklavier.<\/p>\n\n

The concerts on 8 May, 26 June, 18 September and 16 October will take place in the Great Hall of the New Town Hall (Prague 2), 5 June in the Refectory of the Professional House (Prague 1), 13 November in the Martin\u016f Hall and 11 December in the Respirium of the Lichtenstein Palace (Prague 1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
