I. Stravinski: Ragtime
The seventh annual edition of concerts by the Brno Contemporary Orchestra in Villa Tugendhat will be held in the style of dance and variations.
Early pieces by post-war avant-garde composers (Lutoslawski, Ligeti) represent still quite modest steps by modernists led by the firm hand of “tradition.” Josef Adamík can hardly be classified stylewise and hence is a very original author with a strong non-musical message.
The concert will also feature the world premiere of variations on the Czech national anthem, which Daniel Forró himself (a Czech composer living in Japan) characterizes as a contribution to the discussion on the new form of our national symbol. The evening closes with a well-styled miniature by Igor Stravinsky, where the dulcimer plays a significant role – something we would hardly expect in this genre.
