Grieg & Mendelssohn na Casa Municipal
Praga, Casa Municipal (Obecní dum) — Smetana Hall
Sobre o Evento
O maestro Petr Altrichter é um orgulhoso nativo de Radhoštěm, mas também um viajante do mundo que conheceu em pormenor o repertório nórdico. Daí a mítica Carélia de Jean Sibelius. Petr Altrichter é também um músico com um grande coração que, quando encontra jovens talentos na viagem da sua vida, sopra as suas velas. É também o caso de Marek Kozák, que ele conheceu com o acompanhamento da FOK no Concurso da primavera de Praga em 2016. Depois de um recital com lotação esgotada no Festival Mundial de Piano, em fevereiro de 2023, chegou finalmente a vez da Sala Smetana e de Edvard Grieg. O encontro de amigos culminará também no Norte: com a Sinfonia Escocesa de Mendelssohn, nas suas próprias palavras a melhor.

- Jean Sibelius – 'Karelia Suite' op. 11

Municipal House (Obecní dum)
The Municipal House is a popular Prague attraction and one of the most beautiful buildings in the Old Town, situated at Republic Square not far from the Powder Gate. In the Middle Ages the site housed the palace of the King of Bohemia,and was later used as a college, archbishop´s residence, and a military academy. The structure was eventually torn down, and in 1912 the new Municipal House was erected in the Art Nouveau style. Since opening, the Municipal House has been a glamorous location for festive balls, concerts, exhibitions and important meetings, including the declaration of Czechoslovak Independence in 1918. Today the Municipal House is used primarily as a venue for classical concerts in Prague. Its main hall is named after famous Czech composer Bedrich Smetana, and serves as one of the principal stages for the Prague Spring International Music Festival. The hall can accommodate up to 1200 people and has unique acoustics. The architectural highlight of the Smetana Hall is a glass dome decorated with steel grids and stained glass, which is illuminated when darkness falls. A place of pilgrimage for many of the worlds greatest organists, the real jewel of the Municipal House is the great organ, its almost 5000 pipes crowned with Smetana´s portrait.
