Festival Krumlov: Moon & Kačo / Brahms

The music of this evening will connect styles, worlds, and personalities of the contemporary music scene.

The evening will open with Johannes Brahms' famous Violin Concerto in D major, which will test the technical and expressive maturity of each performer. This renowned concerto will be performed by South Korean violinist Boha Moon, acclaimed for her brilliant artistry.

The second part of the evening will feature the world premiere of Tomáš Kačo's Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart, inspired by the work of Jan Amos Komenský. The work was created in 2022 on a commission from Jiří and Radana Walda as part of the project Art for Freedom and is dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the publication of Jan Amos Komenský’s famous work The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart. Kačo combines classical music with jazz and improvisation and will perform in Krumlov not only as a composer but also as a soloist. His new composition, written especially for violinist Boha Moon and commissioned by the festival, will also be performed.

The Prague Philharmonia, conducted by the young and successful conductor Jiří Habart, will lend shape and brilliance to the musical event.
