New work by young Czech composer Haštal Hapka precedes a recent composition by his older and renowned Austrian counterpart Georg Friedrich Haas. Created in 2022 in parallel with his autobiography, where the composer, originally from the Austrian Alps, comes to terms with the shadows of the past and frees himself from the dark legacy of a family full of honest Nazis. Finnish accordionist Veli Kujala, composer and professor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, will play a rare quarter-tone accordion. Enjoy the opportunity to visit the new exhibition on Soňa Červená before the concert! (FREE with the concert ticket)

This concert is organized in collaboration with HAMU and Prague Conservatoire.
