Showcase 2022 will present young talents on Thursday in the Rudolfinum
The concert in Dvořák’s Prague will present a selection of promising artists whose ambitions reach the highest levels of interpretation art. Project patron Radek Baborák told us more in a live telephone interview.
Festival Dvořák’s Prague will offer this one Thursday, September 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Dvořák network of the Rudolfinum a showcase of top musicians of the current young generation. Accompanied by an orchestra Ukrainian-Czech Sinfonietta AND Radka Baborák we will hear a selection of young soloists who aspire to become a member of the interpretation elite.
The Thursday concert will feature music by Paul Dukas, Maurice Ravel, Pablo de Saraste, Igor Stravinsky, Leonard Bernstein, Sergei Rachmaninov and Gioacchino Rossini. They will play Vilém Vlček AND Dora Hájková (violoncello), Anna Paulova (clarinet), Roxana Hädler (harp), Matej Pinkas (piano), Matteo Hager AND Miriam Magdalena Haniková (violin) and brass quintet PBtet. As stated by Radek Baborák in a telephone interview for Classic Praha, the performers were not only selected on the basis of playing skills, but the ability of self-presentation was also taken into account, which, according to Baborák, is very important for a contemporary performing artist.
However, the program will continue on the following two days, namely on Friday 23 September AND Saturday 24.9. in the Music Rooms of the Academy of Performing Arts. On both days, young artists will perform from 10:00 a.m against Gallery HAMUfrom 2:30 p.m then in Martin Hall.
Project Show-case originated from the initiative Institute of Art – Theater Institute and pro-export music offices SoundCzech with the support of Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. The current patron and manager of Showcase Radek Baborák also invited to the project Academy of Classical Music – organizer of the international music festival Dvořák Prague – a AMU Faculty of Music and Dance.
The goal of the project is the presentation of young Czech artists, ensembles and composers, not only to concertgoers, but also to experts who influence events on the music scene in the Czech Republic and abroad. That is why representatives of music festivals, orchestras, agencies and media of domestic and international dimensions will be invited to individual concerts and creative workshops. The purpose of the event is to raise the visibility of top artists of the young generation, who can draw attention to their exceptional talents through public presentations, establish new contacts and collaborate.
