CLARIMONIA ENSEMBLE: CARMEN

or Manni is on duty

The audience can look forward to a modern adaptation of Georges Bizet’s most famous opera, adapted for an ensemble of six clarinets and a narrator.

One of the greatest hits of all opera houses seen through the eyes of an aging member of the opera choir who, after thirty-six years in the “business”, doesn't like his colleagues, nor the members of the orchestra, or indeed even the opera. But he loves knives and Spain.

EPOQUE QUARTET & IRVIN VENYŠ

Komp(l)ot in Concert / New CD Launch

Eight years after the release of the first joint CD Irvin Epoque (ArcoDiva, 2012), Irvin Venyš and the Epoque Quartet have decided on another joint project and thus a 'conspiracy' was formed.It was created during the autumn and winter of 2020 as part of the Czechs Cross Over project. The title of the second album was inspired by Jitka Petrášová's print, Kompot. [Kompot is the Czech for 'compote' - the dessert made from stewed fruits. Add an 'l' and you get komplot, or 'conspiracy']. Like the performers, the work is a musically inconsistent, but at the same time well-mixed Komp(l)ot of new compositions and adaptations of existing compositions.At their first public concert together after almost three years you will hear not only pieces from the new CD, but also older favorites.

Tickets: 270/170, available HERE

September 4, 19.30 / Martinů Hall, Malostranské nám. 13, Prague 1
