The series begins with Josef Špaček, a favourite among local audiences, performing Franck’s beloved Sonata alongside 20th-century repertoire. Artist-in-residence Evgeny Kissin presents a programme drawn from the golden age of piano music. Alisa Weilerstein introduces Fragments—a bold concept blending solo cello masterworks with newly commissioned pieces in a multimedia setting. Finally, the series turns to vocal artistry, as Italian baritone Franco Vassallo makes his first appearance at Dvořák Hall, bringing the grandeur of the world’s leading opera stages.
