33rd Season - Contemporary Music Series

S

In the 33rd season, the Contemporary Music Series S will offer exceptional musical experiences, contemporary composers as guests at individual concerts, interesting debates, and outstanding performers from among the members of the Prague Philharmonia.

We will keep the traditional format of six concerts. The current young generation of Czech composers will be represented by Haštal Hapka and Darja Kukal Moiseeva, while contemporary Slovakia will be represented by five young Slovak composers. One night we will hear international music represented by György Ligeti and Elliot Carter. The Contemporary Music Series S is a challenging platform that features outstanding figures who work across several fields and leave a noticeable mark on Czech culture. Such is Milan Knížák, but also the three composers known from previous seasons – Vladimír Franz, Zdenek Merta, and Vadim Petrov. The music of all these composers will be presented this season together with their interesting comments on their work as well as contemporary culture.

The Contemporary Music Series is a musical talk show full of music, presenting world and Czech premieres and interesting debates. Come to the Švanda Theater and hear for yourself how wonderful contemporary music is!
