Inspired by Martinu

Czech Centre London + Nonclassical present

Inspired by Martinů juxtaposes selected oeuvre of 20th century Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, whose 125th birth anniversary we’ll celebrate in December this year, with London’s contemporary classical scene as represented by artists around the acclaimed Nonclassical label and its founder, composer and DJ Gabriel Prokofiev. They will be joined onstage by piano virtuoso Lada Valešová, violin wunderkind Tereza Anna Přívratská and vibrant soprano Lucie Špičková in a unique attempt to reimagine Martinů’s most influential chamber pieces by creating real-time improvised soundtracks, avant-garde audiovisual installations and once-in-a-lifetime musical reworks.

Performers:
Lada Valešová, piano
Lucie Špičková, mezzo-soprano
Tereza Anna Přívratská, violin
Gabriel Prokofiev, laptop
