The jubilee 20th concert season of the Prague Philharmonia's contemporary music series will be ceremoniously opened by Miloš Štědroň – a prominent contemporary music composer, musicologist, author of chamber, orchestral, and vocal music, as well as countless compositions for stage plays and films. Among his most well-known works is the "Ballad for a Bandit," composed for the Husa na Provázku (Goose on a String) theater in Brno, which he co-founded.
Miloš Štědroň lives and composes in Brno. He has devoted a significant part of his life to studying and analyzing the work of Leoš Janáček, the renowned Czech composer. Štědroň is also an admirer of the music of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. In the 1960s, during the era of the so-called New Music, he personally met with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez.
He has filled the program of today's concert with his very interesting compositions for unusual instrumental ensembles. He will guide us through his work and today's program, for which he has invited violinist and singer Gabriela Vermelho as a guest.
